A Novel Locally c-di-GMP-Controlled Exopolysaccharide Synthase Required for Bacteriophage N4 Infection of Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT A major target of c-di-GMP signaling is the production of biofilm-associated extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which in Escherichia coli K-12 include amyloid curli fibers, phosphoethanolamine-modified cellulose, and poly-N-acetylglucosamine. However, the characterized c-di-GMP-bindi...
