Local control: a hub-based model for the c-di-GMP network mSphere (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2024-04-09 Anna Vasenina, Yu Fu, George A. O'Toole, Peter J. Mucha
Many bacteria utilize bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) signaling to regulate biofilm formation (1–3). One potentially powerful way to analyze a bacterium’s decision-making process to initiate biofilm formation is via a binary classification model (i.e., the organism is in one of two states), where input stimuli are processed to determine whether the organism stays in place
