A transcriptional regulator linking quorum sensing and chitin induction to render Vibrio cholerae naturally transformable
The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae is an aquatic bacterium associated with zooplankton and their chitinous exoskeletons. On chitinous surfaces, V. cholerae initiates a developmental programme, known as natural competence, to mediate transformation, which is a mode of horizontal gene transfer. Compet...
