Abstract excerpt

DegS and DegU make up a two component system belonging to a class of signal transduction systems that play important roles in a broad range of bacterial responses to the environment. However, little study has been done to explore the physiological functions of DegS-DegU in mosquitocidal Lysinibacillus sphaericus. In this study, it was found that deletion of degU or degS-degU inhibited the swarming motility,...
