Functional role of the diadenylate cyclase gene cdaA in stress responses of the dairy starter Streptococcus thermophilus.

Results showed that cdaA is critical for osmotic and ethanol tolerance but negatively modulates bile salt resistance in S. thermophilus, suggesting that absence of cdaA confers a survival advantage under bile salt stress.
