Deciphering the Symbiotic Significance of Quorum Sensing Systems of Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 [PDF]
, 2020 Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell-to-cell signaling mechanism that collectively regulates and synchronizes behaviors by means of small diffusible chemical molecules.

Engineering acyl-homoserine lactone-interfering enzymes toward bacterial control
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020 Enzymes able to degrade or modify acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) have drawn considerable interest for their ability to interfere with the bacterial communication process referred to as quorum sensing. Many proteobacteria use AHL to coordinate virulence and biofilm formation in a cell density-dependent manner; thus, AHL-interfering enzymes constitute ...

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Many Proteobacteria communicate via production followed by response of quorum sensing molecules, namely, N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). These molecules consist of a lactone moiety with N-acyl side chain with various chain lengths and degrees of ...

Marine-Derived Metabolites of S-Adenosylmethionine as Templates for New Anti-Infectives
Marine Drugs, 2009 S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) is a key biochemical co-factor whose proximate metabolites include methylated macromolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, phospholipids), methylated small molecules (e.g., sterols, biogenic amines), polyamines (e.g ...

Peptides as quorum sensing molecules : measurement techniques and obtained levels in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
, 2017 The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated in a cell-density dependent way, a phenomenon called quorum sensing. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use this type of communication, though the signal molecules (auto-inducers) used by ...

A novel metagenomic short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase attenuates Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation and virulence on Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the expression of a number of virulence factors, as well as biofilm formation, are controlled by quorum sensing (QS). N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are an important class of signaling molecules involved in bacterial QS and ...

Pseudomonas fluorescens MFE01 uses 1-undecene as aerial communication molecule
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Bacterial communication is a fundamental process used to synchronize gene expression and collective behavior among the bacterial population. The most studied bacterial communication system is quorum sensing, a cell density system, in which the ...

Quorum Sensing Activity of Enterobacter asburiae Isolated from Lettuce Leaves
Sensors, 2013 Bacterial communication or quorum sensing (QS) is achieved via sensing of QS signaling molecules consisting of oligopeptides in Gram-positive bacteria and N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) in most Gram-negative bacteria.

Evaluation of a new high-throughput method for identifying quorum quenching bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Quorum sensing (QS) is a population-dependent mechanism for bacteria to synchronize social behaviors such as secretion of virulence factors. The enzymatic interruption of QS, termed quorum quenching (QQ), has been suggested as a promising alternative ...

Enzymatic Assays to Investigate Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Autoinducer Synthases [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteria use chemical molecules called autoinducers as votes to poll their numerical strength in a colony. This polling mechanism, commonly referred to as quorum sensing, enables bacteria to build a social network and provide a collective response for fighting off common threats.
