Abstract

The secondary messenger molecule, 3′,5′-cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP), controls various cellular processes in bacteria. Direct measurement of intracellular concentration of c-di-GMP is fast becoming an important tool for studying prokaryotic biology. Here, we describe a comprehensive extraction protocol from live bacteria and quantitative analysis using LC/MS/MS.
