Remodeling of Chemotaxis is a Cornerstone of Bacterial Swarming

J. D. Partridge, N. Q. Nguyen, Y. S. Dufour, R. M. Harshey

The paper shows that remodeling the chemotaxis pathway to reduce tumble bias and increase run duration is a common adaptation in swarming bacteria across multiple species.

VIBRIO CHOLERAE ADAPTS TO SESSILE AND MOTILE LIFESTYLES BY CYCLIC DI-GMP REGULATION OF CELL SHAPE

N. L. Fernandez, N. T. Nhu, B. Y. Hsueh, J. L. Franklin, Y. S. Dufour, C. M. Waters

This study shows that V. cholerae regulates cell shape via c-di-GMP, linking curvature to biofilm formation and motility.

Acidic pH reduces Vibrio cholerae motility in mucus by weakening flagellar motor torque

Y. S. Dufour, N. T. Nhu, H. J. Wang

This study shows acidic pH reduces Vibrio cholerae flagellar motor torque, impairing mucus penetration, and highlights pH's role in determining infection site.
