Abstract

A decade of research has shown that the molecule c-di-GMP functions as a central second messenger in many bacteria. A high level of c-di-GMP is associated with biofilm formation, whereas a low level of c-di-GMP is associated with a planktonic single-cell bacterial lifestyle. c-di-GMP is formed by diguanylate cyclases and is degraded by specific phosphodiesterases.
