The bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP: mechanisms of signalling [PDF]
Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) regulates many important bacterial processes. Freely diffusible intracellular c-di-GMP is determined by the action of metabolizing enzymes that allow integration of numerous input signals. c-di-GMP specifically regulates multiple cellular processes by binding to diverse target molecules.

Terrein is an inhibitor of quorum sensing and c-di-GMP in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a connection between quorum sensing and c-di-GMP [PDF]
AbstractTo address the drug-resistance of bacterial pathogens without imposing a selective survival pressure, virulence and biofilms are highly attractive targets. Here, we show that terrein, which was isolated from Aspergillus terreus, reduced virulence factors (elastase, pyocyanin, and rhamnolipid) and biofilm formation via antagonizing quorum ...

Because bacterial surface glycans are in direct contact with the environment they can provide essential protective functions during infections or against competing bacteria.

A decade of research has shown that the molecule c-di-GMP functions as a central second messenger in many bacteria. A high level of c-di-GMP is associated with biofilm formation, whereas a low level of c-di-GMP is associated with a planktonic single-cell

Impact of edaphoclimatic conditions and crop season on olive oil's fatty acids
Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) fruit oil attracts widespread interest because of its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids. However, a neglected area in the field is the edaphoclimatic factors impact, which is poorly understood. Bearing this in mind, the purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of the edaphoclimatic ...

Detection of c-di-GMP-Responsive DNA Binding [PDF]
Modulation of signal transduction via binding of the secondary messenger molecule cyclic di-GMP to effector proteins is a near universal regulatory schema in bacteria. In particular, direct binding of c-di-GMP to transcriptional regulators has been shown to alter gene expression of a variety of processes.

A Multimodal Strategy Used By A Large c-di-GMP Network [PDF]
AbstractThePseudomonas fluorescensgenome encodes for 50+ proteins involved in -di-GMP signaling. Here, we demonstrate that when tested across 188 nutrients, these enzymes and effectors appear capable of impacting biofilm formation. Transcriptional analysis of network members across ∼50 nutrient conditions indicates that altered gene expression can ...

The second messenger c-di-GMP is important during both stages of the nutrient-regulated biphasic life cycle of Myxococcus xanthus with the formation of predatory swarms in the presence of nutrients and spore-filled fruiting bodies in the absence of ...

Pertussis, caused by the gram-negative bacterium Bordetella pertussis, is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Intranasal vaccination is an ideal strategy to prevent pertussis, as the nasal mucosa represents the first-line barrier to B.
