Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen affecting immunocompromised
patients. It is known as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) …

Notably, bacterial biofilm formation is increasingly recognized as a passive virulence factor
facilitating many infectious disease processes. In this review we will focus on bacterial …

Microbial communities enmeshed in a matrix of macromolecules, termed as biofilms, are the
natural setting of bacteria. Exopolysaccharide is a critical matrix component of biofilms …

The cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) second messenger represents a signaling system that
regulates many bacterial behaviors and is of key importance for driving the lifestyle switch …

Biofilm formation constitutes an alternative lifestyle in which microorganisms adopt a
multicellular behavior that facilitates and/or prolongs survival in diverse environmental …

Bacteria produce a wide range of exopolysaccharides which are synthesized via different
biosynthesis pathways. The genes responsible for synthesis are often clustered within the …

Twenty-five years have passed since the discovery of cyclic dimeric (3′→ 5′) GMP (cyclic
di-GMP or c-di-GMP). From the relative obscurity of an allosteric activator of a bacterial …

Over the last two decades, scientific communities have been more interested in turning
organic waste materials into bioenergy. Microbial fuel cells (MFC) can degrade organic …

Since its initial discovery as an allosteric factor regulating cellulose biosynthesis in
Gluconacetobacter xylinus, the list of functional outputs regulated by c-di-GMP has grown …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is found in a wide
range of biotic and abiotic habitats. It is a major human opportunistic pathogen causing …
