Bacillus subtilis Early Colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana Roots Involves Multiple Chemotaxis Receptors
Colonization of plant roots by Bacillus subtilis is mutually beneficial to plants and bacteria. Plants can secrete up to 30% of their fixed carbon via root exudates, thereby feeding the bacteria, and in return the associated B. subtilis bacteria provide the plant with many growth-promoting traits. Formation of a biofilm on the root by matrix-producing B. subtilis is a well-established requireme...
متن کاملBacterial Traits Involved in Colonization of Arabidopsis thaliana Roots by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42
Colonization studies previously performed with a green-fluorescent-protein, GFP, labeled derivative of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 revealed that the bacterium behaved different in colonizing surfaces of plant roots of different species (Fan et al., 2012). In order to extend these studies and to elucidate which genes are crucial for root colonization, we applied targeted mutant strains to A...
متن کاملPermeabilization of Bacillus subtilis to Chemotaxis
The net methylation of methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) is the biochemical manifestation of physiological adaptation to amino acid chemoattractants by Escherichia coli (4). In Bacillus subtilis, demethylation of MCPs occurs during such adaptation (3). The activity of chemotaxis methyltransferase is detectable in vivo and in vitro. As an alternative assay, whole cells can be permeabil...
متن کاملThe role of heterologous receptors in McpB-mediated signalling in Bacillus subtilis chemotaxis.
Asparagine chemotaxis in Bacillus subtilis appears to involve two partially redundant adaptation mechanisms: a receptor methylation-independent process that operates at low attractant concentrations and a receptor methylation-dependent process that is required for optimal responses to high concentrations. In order to elucidate these processes, chemotactic responses were assessed for strains exp...
متن کاملThe three adaptation systems of Bacillus subtilis chemotaxis.
Adaptation has a crucial role in the gradient-sensing mechanism that underlies bacterial chemotaxis. The Escherichia coli chemotaxis pathway uses a single adaptation system involving reversible receptor methylation. In Bacillus subtilis, the chemotaxis pathway seems to use three adaptation systems. One involves reversible receptor methylation, although quite differently than in E. coli. The oth...
