Abstract excerpt
Many bacteria form mats at the air-liquid interface of static microcosms. These structures typically involve the secretion of exopolysaccharides, the production of which is often controlled by the secondary messenger c-di-GMP. Mechanisms of mat formation have been particularly well characterized in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25; stimuli or mutations that increase c-di-GMP production by diguanylate cyclases (WspR,...
