Cell aggregation promotes pyoverdine-dependent iron uptake and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Cell aggregation promotes pyoverdine-dependent iron uptake and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa the Gac signaling system and the second messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) participate in the control of the switch between planktonic and biofilm lifestyles, by regulating the production of the two exopolysaccharides Pel and Psl. The Gac and c-di-GMP regulatory networ...
