BACKGROUND: Several Gram-negative species undergo development leading to the formation of metabolically dormant desiccation resistant cysts. Recent analysis of cyst development has revealed that ~20 % of the Rhodospirillum centenum transcriptome undergo temporal changes in expression as cells trans

Rhodospirillum centenum utilizes 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) as a messenger to regulate development of desiccation-resistant cysts. In this study, we demonstrated that gcyA, gcyB and gcyC, coding for putative subunits of a guanylyl cyclase, increase expression from 8- to 500-fold whe

Rhodospirillum centenum forms metabolically dormant cysts under unfavorable growth conditions such as desiccation or nutrient starvation. The development of cysts is tightly regulated and involves a cyst-repressing chemotaxis-like signal transduction pathway called the Che3 signaling cascade. The Ch
