c-di-GMP is required for swarming in E. coli, producing colanic acid that acts as surfactant
ABSTRACT Many bacteria use flagella to swim individually through bulk liquid or swarm collectively over a semi-solid surface. In Escherichia coli, c-di-GMP inhibits swimming via the effector protein YcgR. We show in this study that, contrary to its effect on swimming, a certain threshold level of c-...
