The role of the second messenger has been elucidated by using, in addition to the wild type strain P. aeruginosa PA01, its mutants with a low and elevated level of cyclo-di- GMP biosynthesis: P. aeruginosa PA01 pJN2133 and P. aeruginosa PA01 ? wspF1, respectively. The results of the research work allowed us to formulate the following concept: Increasing of biosynthesis of the rhinolipid, the main biosurfactant of P. aeruginosa, occurs against the background of an increased content of signaling quinolone and a decrease in the concentration of cyclo-di- GMP in the P. aeruginosa cells cytoplasm. The rationale for this concept is the data obtained for the first time on the higher level of biosynthesis of the rhamnolipids and the increased content of PQS in P. aeruginosa PA01 pJN2133. That is, a feedback is found between the level of the secondary messenger and the ability to produce biosurfactants. The obtained results are the basis for new approaches to enhancing the biosynthesis of various useful metabolites of bacteria, in particular, biosurfactants, by: 1. application of exogenous regulatory molecules that affect the level of biosynthesis of secondary messengers and the functioning of the Quorum Sensing system; 2. development and use of bioplastic reactors; 3. molecular design and directed synthesis of new substances capable of modifying the content of cyclo-di- GMP in producer cells; 4. Use of bacterial strains with a naturally low level of cyclo-di- GMP biosynthesis. Obtained data are also of practical value for developments in the medical field. They indicate the possibility of using substances that can reduce the level of cyclo-di-GMP, for the modification of materials from which catheters, tracheal tubes, implants, etc. are made, in order to prevent the formation of biofilms.
