Microbes as Menaces, Mates & Marvels
The conventional understanding of microbes as causative agents of disease has led us to fear them and to consider them our deadly enemies. Much less appreciated are the central roles microbes play in shaping the environment and in maintaining plant, animal, and human health. All metazoan organisms – organisms that we can see with the naked eye – exist in lifelong partnerships with vast microbial communities. These “microbiomes” supply metazoans w…
A genetic analysis of the functions of LuxN
The bioluminescent marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi controls light production using two parallel quorum‐sensing systems. V. harveyi produces two autoinducers (AI‐1 and AI‐2), which are recognized by cognate membrane‐bound two‐component hybrid sensor kinases called LuxN and LuxQ respectively. Under conditions of low cell density, in the absence of autoinducer, the hybrid sensors are kinases, and under conditions of high cell density, in the presenc…
