NETWORKED CHEMORECEPTORS BENEFIT BACTERIAL CHEMOTAXIS PERFORMANCE

Networked Chemoreceptors Benefit Bacterial Chemotaxis Performance

ABSTRACT Motile bacteria use large receptor arrays to detect and follow chemical gradients in their environment.Extended receptor arrays, composed of networked signaling complexes, promote cooperative stimulus control of their associated signaling kinases.Here, we used structural lesions at the communication interface between core complexes to crea

Human activities disturb haul out and nursing behavior of Pacific harbor seals at Punta Banda Estuary, Mexico.

Humans frequently interact with Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) at Punta Banda Estuary, Baja California, Mexico, due to the high incidence of recreational activities people undertake there.The immediate effect of these interactions is that seals flush to the water, reducing their time on land and, probably, increasing their energy e
