Research Abstract |
To elucidate the mechanism of bacterial biofilm formation control, we analyzed the function of the GGDEF/EAL proteins in bacteria. GGDEF/EAL protein CsrD was not involved in c-di-GMP metabolism and altered the activity in each growth phase and controlled biofilm formation by regulating the stability of small RNA. On the other hand, YliF(GGDEF protein) and YliE(EAL protein) controlled biofilm formation by regulating the synthesis and degradation of c-di-GMP.
