Chemoreceptor family in plant-associated bacteria responds preferentially to the plant signal molecule glycerol 3-phosphate
Chemotaxis toward glycerol 3-phosphate may be a means for bacteria to localize stressed plants and move to infection sites. This study lays the groundwork for investigating the role of chemotaxis to phosphorylated C3 compounds in plant-bacteria interactions and virulence.
