Nucleotide second messengers act as intracellular 'secondary'signals that represent
environmental or cellular cues, ie the 'primary'signals. As such, they are linking sensory …

ABSTRACT The ninth American Society for Microbiology Conference on Biofilms was
convened in-person on 13–17 November 2022 in Charlotte, NC. As the first of these …

Phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria can result from stochastic processes or deterministic
programs. The deterministic programs often involve the versatile second messenger c-di …

The Pel exopolysaccharide is one of the most mechanistically conserved and
phylogenetically diverse bacterial biofilm matrix determinants. Pel is a major contributor to …

Bacterial AraC is a transcription factor family that initiates transcription by recruiting RNA
polymerase to the promoter and directly regulating various bacterial phenotypes. It also …

Nucleotide second messengers are highly versatile signaling molecules that regulate a
variety of key biological processes in bacteria. The best‐studied examples are cyclic AMP …

Abstract Objectives An Escherichia coli isolate, WGS1363, showed resistance to piperacillin/
tazobactam but susceptibility to cephalosporins and contained a previously unrecognized β …

Phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria results from stochastic processes or deterministic
genetic programs. These deterministic programs often incorporate the versatile second …

ABSTRACT The Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas putida bears a tuft of flagella at a
single cell pole. New flagella must be assembled de novo every cell cycle to secure motility …

The bacterial cell pole has long been recognized as a defined compartment for enzymatic
activities that are important or even vital for the cell. Polarity of diguanylate cyclases and …
