Cohesive Properties of the <italic toggle="yes">Caulobacter crescentus</italic> Holdfast Adhesin Are Regulated by a Novel c-di-GMP Effector Protein

ABSTRACT When encountering surfaces, many bacteria produce adhesins to facilitate their initial attachment and to irreversibly glue themselves to the solid substrate. A central molecule regulating the processes of this motile-sessile transition is the second messenger c-di-GMP, which stimulates the...
