Flagella are required to coordinately activate competition and host colonization factors in response to a mechanical signal

L. Speare, L. Zhao, M. N. Pavelsky, A. Jackson, S. Smith, B. Tyagi, G. C. Sharpe, M. Woo, L. Satkowiak, T. Bolton, S. M. Gifford, A. N. Septer

This study identifies flagella as mechanosensors in Vibrio fischeri that coordinate activation of competition and host colonization factors in response to viscosity changes.

Cultivation and Fluorescent in situ hybridization suggest that some shipworm species acquire endosymbiotic bacteria through indirect horizontal transmission

L. Speare, D. L. Distel

This study shows that some shipworm species acquire their endosymbiotic bacteria through indirect horizontal transmission rather than vertical transmission.

A large lipoprotein mediates target specificity for T6SS-dependent killing

L. Speare, M. Woo, A. K. Dunn, A. N. Septer

The paper identifies a large lipoprotein, TasL, that mediates target specificity for T6SS-dependent killing in Vibrio species by selectively aggregating competitors.
