Model of integrated biofilm and QS regulatory networks in Vibrio fischeri. Environmental cues, including conditions associated with the host during initial colonization of the squid light organ, activate the syp locus. In addition to participating in biofilm formation, SypK activates the LuxU-LuxO phosphorelay via the LuxP/Q complex. The resulting expression of qrr1 leads to enhanced flagellar-based motility, which may contribute to host colonization (see Discussion).
