Abstract
AbstractThere is currently little understanding of the role of the bacterial second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) in the human gut microbiome. C-di-GMP is synthesized by highly conserved diguanylate cyclase (DGC) enzymes and degraded by highly conserved phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes. To begin to assess the prevalence of c-di-GMP signaling in the gut microbiome, we found on average 1.0 DGC and 0.8 PDE enzymes per million base pairs of metagenomic DNA derived from stool samples. Specific species encoding substantial numbers of GGDEF and EAL domains were the commensal species
