Unique Patterns and Biogeochemical Relevance of Two-Component Sensing in Marine Bacteria

ABSTRACT Two-component sensory (TCS) systems link microbial physiology to the environment and thus may play key roles in biogeochemical cycles. In this study, we surveyed the TCS systems of 328 diverse marine bacterial species. We identified lifestyle traits such as copiotrophy and diazotrophy that...
