Overview
In recent years, researchers have discovered a new type of signaling mechanism based on cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP). This newly recognized second messenger is strongly associated with the transition between the motile and sessile states of many bacteria as well as the formation and dispersion of biofilms in many bacteria. This book examines c-di-GMP signaling from a variety of angles. Each chapter has been written and reviewed by leading pioneers in this rapidly evolving field. As the first book dedicated to c-di-GMP, it serves as a comprehensive reference on the state of the science for both experienced researchers and for those who are interested in discovering its many promising applications.Synopsis
