Absence of curli in soil-persistent Escherichia coli is mediated by a C-di-GMP signaling defect and suggests evidence of biofilm-independent niche specialization [PDF]
, 2018 peer-reviewedEscherichia coli is commonly viewed as a gastrointestinal commensal or pathogen although an increasing body of evidence suggests that it can persist in non-host environments as well.

Cyclic di-GMP-dependent signaling pathways in the pathogenic Firmicute Listeria monocytogenes.
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 We characterized key components and major targets of the c-di-GMP signaling pathways in the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, identified a new c-di-GMP-inducible exopolysaccharide responsible for motility inhibition, cell aggregation, and ...

A Two‐Protein Chemoreceptor Complex Regulates Oxygen Thresholds in Bacterial Magneto‐Aerotaxis
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 34, September 11, 2025.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.
