  Abstract

Magnesium-dependent induction of Vibrio fischeri flagellar biogenesis (Mif) depends upon two diguanylate cyclases, suggesting an inhibitory role for c-di-GMP. Here, we report that cells defective for the sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) exhibited a magnesium-independent phenotype similar to mutants of the Mif pathway. Unlike Mif mutants, PTS mutants also were hyper-bioluminescent.
