Unlabelled: has numerous two-component signaling systems (TCSs), many of which regulate the complex social behaviors of this soil bacterium. A subset of TCSs consists of NtrC-like response regulators (RRs) and their cognate histidine sensor kinases (SKs). We have previously demonstrated that a multi-component, phosphorelay TCS named NmpRSTU plays a role in social motility.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers collected 4 freckled madtoms from a creek in Arkansas to study their organs for the presence of myxozoans during specific months in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
  • Of the collected fish, 1 was found to have a novel myxozoan infection in its gallbladder, making it a 25% infection rate among the sample size.
  • The study included detailed morphological and molecular analysis, revealing new findings about myxozoans and their relationship with fish in southern North America, marking the first time these organisms have been reported in madtoms' gallbladders.
