Abstract excerpt
Bacteria use second-messenger molecules to adapt to their environment. Several second messengers, among them cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP), have been discovered and intensively studied. Interestingly, c-di-AMP is essential for growth of Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. Many studies demonstrated that perturbation of c-di-AMP metabolism affects the...
