A flagellar accessory protein links chemotaxis to surface sensing
2024-06-20
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria find suitable locations for colonization by sensing and responding to surfaces. Complex signaling repertoires control surface colonization, and surface contact sensing by the flagellum plays a central role in activating colonization programs. Caulobacter crescentus adheres to surfaces using a polysaccharide adhesin called the holdfast. In C. crescentus , disruption of the flagellum through interactions...
