Control of Biofilm Formation by an <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i> Pterin-Binding Periplasmic Protein Conserved Among Pathogenic Bacteria
2023-11-18
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Biofilm formation and surface attachment in multiple Alphaproteobacteria is driven by unipolar polysaccharide (UPP) adhesins. The pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens produces a UPP adhesin, which is regulated by the intracellular second messenger cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (cdGMP). Prior studies revealed that DcpA, a diguanylate cyclase-phosphodiesterase (DGC-PDE), is crucial in control of...
