Chemotaxis to plant defense compounds in phytopathogens. Pathogen attack triggers the release of defense compounds by plants. Bacteria move chemotactically to these compounds.
Nice collaboration with Ashleigh Holmes, @Gavirius, @Miguel_Matilla

I am truly honoured by my election as Fellow of the European Academy of Microbiology. This is the perfect occasion to say THANKS to all colleagues, collaborators, PhD students, post-docs and technicians who have made this possible.

Our new study shows that a phytopathogenic bacterium uses distinct receptors to detect plant defence compounds released upon infection, revealing an important role for chemotaxis in plant virulence. @KrellLaboratory@Gavirius@BlastMeetings@CSICdivulga

This is the first report of chemotaxis to feruloylagmatine and p-coumaroylagmatine, two well-known plant defense compounds. Both compounds bind to the PacG chemoreceptor inducing chemoattraction.

Our study in @GenomeBiology reveals a new chemoreceptor family sensing phosphorylated C3 compounds. Found mainly in phytobacteria, it guides bacteria toward stressed plants. @KrellLaboratory@zhulinlab@CSIC@BlastMeetings

Which chemicals motile bacteria sense in the human gut? Great collaboration with @zhulinlab and @BangeBalcony, and congratulations to @wency13419273 and @EkaterinaJalomo!

How bacteria recognise stressed plants: Chemoreceptor family in plant-associated bacteria responds preferentially to the plant signal molecule glycerol 3-phosphate. Another nice collaboration with @zhulinlab@miguel_matilla@GenomeBiology https://t.co/QDdZuVbZbD
