Abstract excerpt
The core of the chemotaxis system of Shewanella oneidensis is made of the CheA3 kinase and the CheY3 regulator. When appropriated, CheA3 phosphorylates CheY3, which, in turn, binds to the rotor of the flagellum to modify the swimming direction. In this study, we showed that phosphorylated CheY3 (CheY3-P) also plays an essential role during biogenesis of the solid-surface-associated biofilm (SSA-biofilm). Indeed,...
