Soomin Choi, Gyunghwa Jeong, Eunna Choi, Eun‐Jin Lee
Abstract
Bacteria constantly sense and respond to their surroundings through two-component systems. In Gram-negative bacteria, phosphate sensing is mediated by the PhoB/PhoR two-component system with additional components, the PstSCAB phosphate transporter and the PhoU protein.
