Amino acids are crucial in nitrogen cycling and to shape the metabolism of microorganisms. Among them, arginine is a versatile molecule able sustain nitrogen, carbon, even ATP supply regulate multicellular behaviors such as biofilm formation. Arginine modulates intracellular levels 3'-5'cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP), second messenger that controls formation, maintenance dispersion. In Pseudomonas putida, KT2440, microorganism with wide biotechnological applications, modulation c-di-GMP by requires transcriptional regulator ArgR, but connections between not fully characterized. It has been recently demonstrated can be perceived opportunistic human pathogen aeruginosa through transducer RmcA protein (Redox c-di-GMP), which directly decrease possibly affect architecture. A homolog present P. its function involvement perceiving or life cycle had studied. Here, we preliminary characterization RmcA-dependent response putida modulating levels, energy metabolism. This work contributes further understanding molecular mechanisms linking homeostasis environmental adaptation.
