The alarmone pGpp inhibits translation through GTP depletion
Abstract. Bacteria produce the alarmone nucleotides ppGpp and pppGpp during stress to affect replication, transcription, and metabolism. ppGpp and pppGpp a

Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation is strongly stimulated by manganese. New results from Sachla et al. show that a Mn export protein (MeeY) and YybP are important for biofilm regulation, maturation, and proper matrix metalation 🎉🧪🦠 #Microsky www.nature.com/articles/s41...
