The Structure of an Unconventional HD-GYP Protein from
mBio, 2011 Cyclic-di-GMP is a near-ubiquitous bacterial second messenger that is important in localized signal transmission during the control of various processes, including virulence and switching between planktonic and biofilm-based lifestyles.

Transcriptional profiling of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm life cycle stages reveals dispersal-specific biomarkers [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBacteria exhibit two lifestyles: planktonic, free-floating individual cells or sessile multicellular aggregates known as biofilms. The biofilm life cycle is characterized by three distinct stages: attachment, maturation and dispersal.
