Sinorhizobium meliloti Chemotaxis to Multiple Amino Acids Is Mediated by the Chemoreceptor McpU

The legume symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti is chemoattracted to compounds exuded by germinating seeds of its host alfalfa. This response is mainly mediated by the S. meliloti chemoreceptor McpU. McpU also has a prominent contribution in sensing a synthetic amino acid (aa) mixture mimicking the amoun...
