Our c-di-GMP sensor story is finally out in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/dHsEh. Including new data demonstrating cdGreen2 as a convenient tool to study DGC and PDE activity in vitro. Great collaboration with @simon_vanvliet and @MaierLab!

Happy to share our new piece of work: a robust, sensitive ratiometric c-di-GMP biosensor, cdGreen2. cdGreen2 allows monitoring of c-di-GMP dynamics over generations in various organisms. (1/2)

A recent study reports that P. aeruginosa surface colonization triggers asymmetrical divisions, which generate specialized cell types — a ‘spreader’ for dissemination of the pathogen and a ‘striker’ that causes tissue damage @urs_jenal

#Paeruginosa boosts c-di-GMP within seconds upon surface contact to activate adherent pili. Asymmetric division generates a striker (locally attacks tissues) and a spreader (remote colonization). More at @cellhostmicrobe cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…
