DNA Binding-Uptake System: a Link between Cell-to-Cell Communication and Biofilm Formation

DNA has recently been described as a major structural component of the extracellular matrix in biofilms. In streptococci, the competence-stimulating peptide (CSP) cell-to-cell signal is involved in competence for genetic transformation, biofilm formation, and autolysis. Among the genes regulated in...
