Identification, activity and disulfide connectivity of C-di-GMP regulating proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 C-di-GMP, a bacterial second messenger plays a key role in survival and adaptation of bacteria under different environmental conditions. The level of c-di-GMP is regulated by two opposing activities, namely diguanylate cyclase (DGC) and phosphodiesterase

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.TolC is identified as an essential component of the mixed‐linkage β‐glucan (MLG) biosynthetic machinery in Sinorhizobium meliloti, likely enabling polymer export. Co‐expression of tolC, bgsBA, and pleD* significantly enhances MLG production and enables its synthesis in non‐native bacterial hosts.

To Move or Not to Move: When and How Bacteria Suppress Flagellar Motility
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 126, Issue 2, Page 173-189, August 2026.Motility cessation in bacteria is a key regulatory strategy that provides multiple survival advantages including enhanced community cooperation, niche adaptation and evasion of host immune responses. This process is controlled by associated mechanisms such as post‐translational modifications and second messenger signalling that stabilise non‐motile ...

GGDEF-EAL domain proteins in bacterial physiology
, 2008 GGDEF and EAL domain proteins were identified in the chromosome of many bacteria. GGDEF domain proteins are generally diguanyl cyclases which synthesize the secondary messenger cyclic di-GMP.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.This study revealed that the transcriptional regulator EmrR in Dickeya oryzae modulates virulence by regulating hrpL expression and c‐di‐GMP levels. It affects motility, biofilm formation, cellulase production and pathogenicity. EMSA and footprinting confirmed EmrR binds directly to the promoter of its target operon.

Diguanylate Cyclases in Vibrio cholerae: Essential Regulators of Lifestyle Switching
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Biofilm formation in Vibrio cholerae empowers the bacteria to lead a dual lifestyle and enhances its infectivity. While the formation and dispersal of the biofilm involves multiple components—both proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous, the key to the ...
