Cyclic dipeptides (CDPs) are the smallest cyclic peptides containing 2, 5‐diketopiperazine
rings. CDPs have advantages of structures and properties, including excellent hydrogen …

The fulminating zoonotic pathogen Vibrio vulnificus is the causative agent of fatal septicemia
in humans and fish, raising tremendous economic burdens in healthcare and the …

Roles for the non-coding small RNA RyhB in quorum-sensing and iron-dependent gene
modulation in the human pathogen V. vulnificus were assessed in this study. Both the …

Cholera is a diarrheal disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. To
reach the surface of intestinal epithelial cells, proliferate, and cause disease, V. cholerae …

Bacteria accumulate compatible solutes to maintain cellular turgor pressure when exposed
to high salinity. In the marine halophile Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the compatible solute …

Vibrio vulnificus, a significant marine pathogen, undergoes opaque (Op)-translucent (Tr)
colony switching based on whether capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is produced. CPS phase …

In the human pathogen Vibrio vulnificus, the quorum-sensing (QS) signal molecule cyclo-(L-
phenylalanine-L-proline)(cFP) plays a critical role in triggering a signaling pathway involving …

The histone-like nucleoid structuring protein (H-NS) is an abundant global regulator of
environmentally controlled gene expression. Herein, we demonstrate that H-NS represses …

Abstract Cyclo (Phe-Pro)(cFP), produced by the Vibrio species, plays the dual roles of being
a signaling molecule and a virulence factor. Acting modes of this compound have recently …

Bacteria accumulate compatible solutes, to maintain cellular turgor pressure when exposed
