Abstract excerpt
The second messenger cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a central regulator of bacterial lifestyle, controlling several behaviors, including the switch between sessile and motile states. The c-di-GMP levels are controlled by the interplay between diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and phosphodiesterases, which synthesize and hydrolyze this second messenger, respectively. These enzymes often contain...
