Cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Intracellular cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) was measured in two laboratory strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Decreasing the glucose content of a defined media from 33 mM to 5.5 mM glucose resulted in an 11-to 25-fold increase of intracellular cAMP.
