Finding gene-expression patterns in bacterial biofilms
The production of biofilms by bacteria is a lifestyle that is thought to require or involve a
differential gene expression compared with that of planktonic bacteria. Recently, we have …

Vibrio fischeri Uses Two Quorum-Sensing Systems for the Regulation of Early and Late Colonization Factors
C Lupp, EG Ruby - Journal of bacteriology, 2005 - Am Soc Microbiol
Vibrio fischeri possesses two quorum-sensing systems, ain and lux, using acyl homoserine
lactones as signaling molecules. We have demonstrated previously that the ain system …

Borrelia burgdorferi σ54 is required for mammalian infection and vector transmission but not for tick colonization
MA Fisher, D Grimm, AK Henion… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
Previous studies have shown that a σ54–σS cascade regulates the expression of a few key
lipoproteins in Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease. Here, we demonstrate that …

Cyclic di‐GMP inhibits Vibrio cholerae motility by repressing induction of transcription and inducing extracellular polysaccharide production
Cyclic di‐GMP (c‐di‐GMP) controls the transition between sessility and motility in many
bacterial species. This regulation is achieved by a variety of mechanisms including …
