“…c‐di‐AMP is essential for viability of many bacteria and archaea under standard growth conditions, suggesting that the second messenger fulfils important functions in the cell (Woodward et al ., 2010; Luo and Helmann, 2012; Barker et al ., 2013; Blötz et al ., 2017; Braun et al ., 2019). Indeed, c‐di‐AMP controls potassium homeostasis and transport of other osmolytes (Nelson et al ., 2013; Bai et al ., 2014; Chin et al ., 2015; Moscoso et al ., 2015; Huynh et al ., 2016; Schuster et al ., 2016; Devaux et al ., 2018a; Devaux et al ., 2018b; Rubin et al ., 2018; Quintana et al ., 2019; Wang et al ., 2019; Sikkema et al ., 2020; Zeden et al ., 2018, 2020; Cereija et al ., 2021). Therefore, c‐di‐AMP is a key component in the regulation of the cellular turgor, a physical variable that needs to be tightly regulated (Commichau et al ., 2018).…”
