Cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) is a bacterial second messenger of growing recognition
involved in the regulation of a number of complex physiological processes. This review …

Signal transduction in microorganisms and plants is often mediated by His–Asp
phosphorelay systems. Two conserved families of proteins are centrally involved: histidine …

This book describes the major achievements and discoveries relevant to bacterial protein
toxins since the turn of the new century illustrated by the discovery of more than fifty novel …

The ability to move in a directed manner may confer distinct advantages upon host‐adapted
prokaryotes. Potential benefits of motility include increased efficiency of nutrient acquisition …

The synthesis of extracellular enzymes and extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) in
Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is regulated by a cluster of genes called rpf …

Ethylene is one of the simplest organic molecules with biological activity. At concentrations
