Abstract excerpt
Cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a bacterial second messenger regulating many physiological processes in bacteria. In the oral commensal species Streptococcus mitis, c-di-AMP is involved in regulating metabolism, growth, colony morphology, chain length, biofilm formation and DNA stress tolerance. However, no c-di-AMP-regulated effector proteins have yet been characterized in S. mitis. In this...
