Abstract excerpt
The second messenger cyclic-di-AMP (c-di-AMP) is a signaling molecule widely present in gram-positive bacteria, where it regulates osmotic resistance by controlling potassium and compatible solute transport. Our previous studies using a Lactococcus cremoris model strain demonstrated that mutants with elevated c-di-AMP can overcome osmosensitivity through mutations enhancing potassium transporter activity. To...
