Ribonucleases (RNases) are mediators in most reactions of RNA metabolism. In recent
years, there has been a surge of new information about RNases and the roles they play in …

The widespread bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP is responsible for regulating many
important physiological functions such as biofilm formation, motility, cell differentiation, and …

Cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) signal transduction systems provide bacteria with the ability to
sense changing cell status or environmental conditions and then execute suitable …

Biofilms provide an ecological advantage against many environmental stressors, such as pH
and temperature, making it the most common life‐cycle stage for many bacteria. These …

Background Food can readily be tainted by pathogenic microorganisms, turning it into a
stigmatized poison with potential harm to the consumer. To date, 31 identified and countless …

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

Diribonucleotides arise from two sources: turnover of RNA transcripts (rRNA, tRNA, mRNA,
and others) and linearization of cyclic-di-nucleotide signaling molecules. In both cases …

Bacillus species are among the most investigated beneficial bacteria and widely used in
agricultural systems as biological control agents. Its biocontrol efficacy is controlled by …

Abstract Bacterial RNases process RNAs until only short oligomers (2–5 nucleotides)
remain, which are then processed by one or more specialized enzymes until only …

The bacterial second messenger bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-
GMP) controls various cellular processes, including motility, toxin production, and biofilm …
