Chemotaxis towards autoinducer 2 mediates autoaggregation in Escherichia coli
A small molecule (autoinducer 2, or AI-2) regulates biofilm formation and virulence in several bacteria, but its role in Escherichia coli is unknown. Here, Laganenka et al. show that chemotaxis towards self-produced AI-2 mediates autoaggregation and promotes stress resistance and biofilm formation i...
