Bacterial envelope polysaccharide cues settlement and metamorphosis in the biofouling tubeworm Hydroides elegans
Abstract Metamorphosis for many marine invertebrates is triggered by external cues, commonly produced by bacteria. For larvae of Hydroides elegans, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the biofilm-dwelling bacterium Cellulophaga lytica induces metamorphosis. To determine whether bacterial LPS is a common m...
