The lonS gene regulates swarmer cell differentiation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio parahaemolyticus differentiates from a polarly flagellated, short, rod-shaped cell known as the swimmer to the elongated, hyperflagellated, and multinucleated swarmer cell type when it is grown on a surface. The swarmer is adapted to movement over and colonization of surfaces. To understand the signal transduction mechanism by which the bacterium recognizes surfaces and reprograms gene expression, we...
