- Genetics and Molecular BiologySpecies-Specific Quorum Sensing Represses the Chitobiose Utilization Locus in Vibrio cholerae
In nature, bacteria live in multicellular and multispecies communities. Microbial species can sense the density and composition of their community through chemical cues using a process called quorum sensing (QS). The marine pathogen Vibrio cholerae is found in communities on the chitinous shells of crustaceans in its aquatic reservoir....
- Genetics and Molecular BiologyA Putative Acetylation System in Vibrio cholerae Modulates Virulence in Arthropod Hosts
The bacterium Vibrio cholerae causes severe disease in humans, and strains can persist in the environment in association with a wide diversity of host species. By investigating the molecular mechanisms that underlie these interactions, we can better understand constraints affecting the ecology and evolution of this global pathogen. The...
