Genomic mechanisms for cold tolerance and production of exopolysaccharides in the Arctic cyanobacterium Phormidesmis priestleyi BC1401 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cyanobacteria are major primary producers in extreme cold ecosystems. Many lineages of cyanobacteria thrive in these harsh environments, but it is not fully understood how they survive in these conditions and whether they have evolved ...

Comparative genomic analysis between highly virulent strain Pta6605 and less virulent strain Pta7375 showed that point mutations in fleQ and gcbB are responsible for the contrasting virulence‐related phenotypes between the two strains. ABSTRACT Pseudomonas syringae pv.

Efficient Enzymatic Production of the Bacterial Second Messenger c-di-GMP by the Diguanylate Cyclase YdeH from E. coli [PDF]
Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is an almost universal bacterial second messenger involved in the regulation of cell surface-associated traits and the persistence of infections.

A Two‐Protein Chemoreceptor Complex Regulates Oxygen Thresholds in Bacterial Magneto‐Aerotaxis
Magnetotactic bacteria align with Earth's magnetic field, helping them migrate toward low‐oxygen environments. This study reveals how Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense uses a specialized flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)‐dependent chemoreceptor, composed of two interacting proteins, for precise navigation in oxygen gradients.

Two Decades of Optogenetic Tools: A Retrospective and a Look Ahead
Optogenetics provides up to millisecond scale, cell type‐specific control of biology using light‐sensitive proteins. This review chronicles two decades of tool development, from microbial rhodopsins and photoactivated enzymes to allosteric switches, surveys broad applications in neuroscience, molecular and cell biology, cardiology, immunology, and ...

Identification of a Diguanylate Cyclase and Its Role in Porphyromonas gingivalis Virulence [PDF]
ABSTRACT Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative obligate anaerobic bacterium and is considered a keystone pathogen in the initiation of periodontitis, one of the most widespread infectious diseases. Bacterial bis-(3′-5′) cyclic GMP (cyclic di-GMP [c-di-GMP]) serves as a second messenger and is involved in ...

Adenylate cyclase A acting on PKA mediates induction of stalk formation by cyclic diguanylate at the Dictyostelium organizer [PDF]
Coordination of cell movement with cell differentiation is a major feat of embryonic development. The Dictyostelium stalk always forms at the organizing tip, by a mechanism that is not understood. We previously reported that cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP),
