This Molecular Microbiology scholarly article explores the genetic requirements for the association of Vibrio fischeri with its mutualistic host Euprymna scolopes (bobtail squid). The study reveals a novel group of genes that V. fischeri controls through a ó54-dependent response regulator and uses to promote symbiotic colonization.
