Abstract excerpt
This study was undertaken to determine whether cyclic AMP (cAMP) or cAMP-receptor protein (CRP) modulates the activity of the autoinducer (AI)-2-mediated quorum sensing (QS) system in response to glucose availability in Vibrio vulnificus. A mutation in crp impaired V. vulnificus growth, decreased AI-2 production, and repressed the expression of smcR encoding the master regulator SmcR (a Vibrio harveyi LuxR...
