1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate and Its Chemoreceptor Drive Metabolic Reprogramming to Enhance Chemotactic Rhizocompetence in Pseudomonas sp. UW4
It is found that the addition of ACC during the mid-logarithmic growth phase of UW4 rapidly induced the transcription of WP116 and several other chemoreceptor genes, promoted bacterial growth by increasing the maximum specific growth rate, yet did not significantly alter the protein abundance of chemoreceptors.
