Abstract
Biofilm formation and motility are often critical behaviors for bacteria to colonize a host organism.
Vibrio fischeri
is the exclusive colonizer of its host’s symbiotic organ and requires both biofilm formation and motility to initiate successful colonization, providing a relatively simple model to explore complex behaviors. In this study, we determined how the environmental signal calcium alters bacterial behavior through production of the signaling molecule c-di-GMP.
