Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause infections in animals, humans, and plants. The formation of biofilms byP. aeruginosa is the central mode of action to persist in hosts and evade immune and antibiotic attacks. Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is an important second messenger involved in the regulation of biofilm formation. InP. aeruginosa PAO1 strain, there are around 40 genes that encode enzymes for making and breaking this dinucleotide. A major missing piece of information in this field is the phylogeny and expression profile of those genes. Here, we took a systemic approach to investigate this mystery. We found that among 40 c-di-GMP metabolizing genes, 5 have well-conserved phylogenetic distribution and invariable expression profiles, suggesting that there are enzymes required for the basal level of c-di-GMP inP. aeruginosa . This study thus provides putative therapeutic targets againstP. aeruginosa infections.
