Environmental Calcium Initiates a Feed-Forward Signaling Circuit That Regulates Biofilm Formation and Rugosity in Vibrio vulnificus

Environmental Calcium Initiates a Feed-Forward Signaling Circuit That Regulates Biofilm Formation and Rugosity in Vibrio vulnificus

The second messenger c-di-GMP is a key regulator of bacterial physiology. The V. vulnificus genome encodes nearly 100 proteins predicted to make, break, and bind c-di-GMP. However, relatively little is known regarding the environmental signals that regulate c-di-GMP levels and biofilm formation in V...
