Female‐Specific Risk of TAS2R Variants in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Hospital‐Based Cohort Study From the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1133-1141, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) function in the innate immune defense of the sinonasal mucosa; however, the genetic association between the TAS2R gene family and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains understudied in Asian populations.

The quorum quenching enzyme Aii20J modifies in vitro periodontal biofilm formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionRecent studies have revealed the presence of N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) quorum sensing (QS) signals in the oral environment. Yet, their role in oral biofilm development remains scarcely investigated.

A Hierarchical OhrR–EmrR Regulatory Circuit Fine‐Tunes the Vfm Quorum‐ Sensing System and Virulence in Dickeya oryzae

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
We report a novel hierarchical regulatory circuit consisting of two MarR‐family transcription factors, OhrR and EmrR, that act antagonistically to dynamically fine‐tune the Vfm QS system and bacterial virulence. ABSTRACT Rice foot rot, caused by Dickeya oryzae, is a destructive bacterial disease.

A Mesorhizobium japonicum quorum sensing circuit that involves three linked genes and an unusual acyl-homoserine lactone signal

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Members of the genus Mesorhizobium, which are core components of the rhizosphere and specific symbionts of legume plants, possess genes for acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing (QS).

Natural Lactone‐Based Quorum Sensing Inhibitors Attenuate Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Targeting bacterial communication, lab‐generated lactones (Lx) inhibited biofilm formation and eliminated mature biofilms within 24–48 h. Lx treatment also suppressed pyocyanin and rhamnolipid production while downregulating rhlR expression, highlighting their promise as potent quorum‐sensing (QS) inhibitors and next‐generation antibiofilm therapeutics.

ExpI and PhzI are descendants of the long lost cognate signal synthase for SdiA. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
SdiA of E. coli and Salmonella is a LuxR homolog that detects N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). Most LuxR homologs function together with a cognate AHL synthase (a LuxI homolog), but SdiA does not.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Revealing Functional Traits of Insect Pest Suppressive Rhizobacterial Strains Through Comparative Genomics

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Inoculation of select rhizobacterial strains to enhance crop health is a growing field in sustainable agriculture. This study conducts a comparative genomic analysis of five plant‐beneficial rhizobacterial strains (Acidovorax radicis N35, Bacillus subtilis B171, Bacillus velezensis FZB42 Rhizobium radiobacter F4 and Pseudomonas simiae WCS417r ...
