    Abstract Surface sensing is a critical process that promotes the transition to a biofilm lifestyle. Several surface-sensing mechanisms have been described for a range of species, most involving surface appendages, such as flagella and pili. Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses the Wsp chemosensory-like signal transduction pathway to sense surfaces and promote biofilm formation. The methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein WspA recognizes an unknown surface-associated signal and initiates a phosphorylation cascade that activates the diguanylate cyclase WspR. We conducted a screen for Wsp-activating compounds and found that chemicals that impact the cell envelope induce Wsp signaling, increase intracellular c-di-GMP levels, and can promote surface attachment. To isolate the Wsp system from other P. aeruginosa surface-sensing systems, we heterologously expressed it in Escherichia coli and found it sufficient for sensing surfaces and the chemicals identified in our screen. Using well-characterized reporters for different E. coli cell envelope stress responses, we then determined that Wsp sensitivity overlapped with multiple E. coli cell envelope stress-response systems. Using mutational and CRISPRi analysis, we found that misfolded proteins in the periplasm appear to be a major stimulus of the Wsp system. Finally, we show that surface attachment appears to have an immediate, observable effect on cell envelope integrity. Collectively, our results provide experimental evidence that cell envelope stress represents an important feature of surface sensing in P. aeruginosa.
