Two-Component Signal Transduction Systems: A Key to the Adaptative Potential of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

The survival ofbacteria depends on constant sensing oftheir environment and adapting to changes, these processes require signal transduction across biological membranes. A major and complex mechanism of signal transduction, widespread in bacteria, is the so-called two-component system (TCS) utilizing phosphorylation as a means of information transfer.
