Identification of Three New GGDEF and EAL Domain-Containing Proteins Participating in the Scr Surface Colonization Regulatory Network in Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio parahaemolyticus rapidly colonizes surfaces using swarming motility. Surface contact induces the surface-sensing regulon, including lateral flagellar genes, spurring dramatic shifts in physiology and behavior. The bacterium can also adopt a sessile, surface-associated lifestyle and form robust biofilms. These alternate colonization strategies are influenced reciprocally by the second messenger c-di-GMP....
