induction of invertebrate larval settlement; different bacteria, different mechanisms?recruitment via settlement of pelagic larvae is critical for the persistence of benthic marine populations. for many benthic invertebrates, larval settlement occurs in response to surface microbial films. larvae of the serpulid polychaete hydroides elegans can be induced to settle by single bacterial species. until now, only pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea had been subjected to detailed genetic and mechanistic studies. to determine if the complex structures, termed tailocins, derived from phage- ...201728195220
