Organic Nanoparticles in Food Systems as Antimicrobial Agents: Synthesis Strategies, Functional Properties, and Biofilm Inhibition Mechanisms

open access: yesNano Select, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Organic nanoparticles (ONPs) derived from biopolymers provide sustainable antimicrobial platforms with tunable physicochemical properties. By enabling controlled delivery of bioactive compounds, ONPs disrupt microbial membranes, induce oxidative stress, and inhibit quorum sensing.

Cultivation‐Based Detection of a Novel High‐GC Nitrospira Derived From the Argentinian Copahue Volcano Area

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this cultivation‐based study, two novel moderately thermophilic Nitrospira enrichments were obtained from the geothermal field Las Máquinas in the Neuquén Province, Argentina. Both nitrite oxidizers, belonging to lineage V or the novel taxonomic lineage VIII, contain quorum‐sensing genes and a high genome GC content of 60.6% and 69.4%.

Directed evolution of Vibrio fischeri LuxR for increased sensitivity to a broad spectrum of acyl-homoserine lactones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
LuxR-type transcriptional regulators play key roles in quorum-sensing systems that employ acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HSLs) as signal molecules.

Rice and bean AHL-mimic quorum-sensing signals specifically interfere with the capacity to form biofilms by plant-associated bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Many bacteria regulate their gene expression in response to changes in their population density in a process called quorum sensing (QS), which involves communication between cells mediated by small diffusible signal molecules termed autoinducers.

Defining the Structure and Function of Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Autoinducers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Quorum sensing plays a central role in regulating many community-derived symbiotic and pathogenic relationships of bacteria, and as such has attracted much attention in recent years. Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are important signaling molecules in the quorum sensing gene-regulatory processes found in numerous gram-negative species of bacteria that ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Algicidal Bacteria in Controlling Harmful Algal Blooms: Advances in Bacteria‐Algae Interactions

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...
