Dissecting the molecular dance: c-di-GMP, cAMP-CRP, and VfmH collaboration in pectate lyase regulation for Dickeya dadantii—unveiling the soft rot pathogen’s strategy

ABSTRACT Dickeya dadantii is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes soft rot diseases in a variety of plants. This pathogen secretes pectate lyase (Pel) enzymes to degrade the plant cell wall, a process controlled by the bacterial second messenger cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP). VfmH is...
