Intercellular Communication via the <i>comX</i> -Inducing Peptide (XIP) of <i>Streptococcus Mutans</i>

2017-06-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Gram-positive bacteria utilize exported peptides to coordinate genetic and physiological processes required for biofilm formation, stress responses and ecological competitiveness. One example is activation of natural genetic competence by ComR and the comX- inducing peptide (XIP) in Streptococcus mutans . Although the competence pathway can be activated by addition of synthetic XIP in defined...
