The chemoreceptor controlling the Wsp-like transduction pathway in Halomonas titanicae KHS3 binds and responds to purine derivatives
The chemosensory pathway HtChe2 from the marine bacterium Halomonas titanicae KHS3 controls the activity of a diguanylate cyclase. Constitutive activation of this pathway results in colony morphology alterations and an increased ability to form biofilm. Such characteristics resemble the behavior of the Wsp pathway of Pseudomonas. In this work, we...
