Inter-kingdom effect on epithelial cells of the N-Acyl homoserine lactone 3-oxo-C12:2, a major quorum-sensing molecule from gut microbiota. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are autoinducer quorum-sensing molecules involved in the bacterial communication network, also interact with eukaryotic cells. Searching for these molecules in the context of inflammatory bowel

Exploiting Quorum Sensing Interfering Strategies in Gram-Negative Bacteria for the Enhancement of Environmental Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread intercellular form of communication to coordinate physiological processes and cooperative activities of bacteria at the population level, and it depends on the production, secretion, and detection of small diffusible ...

Distinctive Growth and Transcriptional Changes of the Diatom Seminavis robusta in Response to Quorum Sensing Related Compounds

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
In aquatic habitats, diatoms are frequently found in association with Proteobacteria, many members of which employ cell-to-cell communication via N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs).

Evaluation of a new high-throughput method for identifying quorum quenching bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

In-situ monitoring AHL-mediated quorum-sensing regulation of the initial phase of wastewater biofilm formation

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
Initial attachment plays an important role in biofilm formation in wastewater treatment processes. However, the initial attachment process mediated by N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) is difficult to be fully understood due to the lack of non-invasive ...

SUPPRESSOR OF PHYTOCHROME B-4 #3 reduces the expression of PIF-activated genes and increases expression of growth repressors to regulate hypocotyl elongation in short days

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2022
SUPPRESSOR OF PHYTOCHROME B-4 #3 (SOB3) is a member of the AT-HOOK MOTIF CONTAINING NUCLEAR LOCALIZED (AHL) family of transcription factors that are involved in light-mediated growth in Arabidopsis thaliana, affecting processes such as hypocotyl ...

Interference with the germination and growth of Ulvazoospores by quorum-sensing molecules from Ulva-associated epiphytic bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ulva zoospores preferentially settle on N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) producing marine bacterial biofilms. To investigate whether AHL signal molecules also affect the success and rate of zoospore germination in addition to zoospore attraction, the ...

Antibacterial and anti-quorum sensing activities of selected italian honeys against antibiotic-resistant pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Three nectar honeys (eucalyptus, thyme and forest) and two honeydew honeys (fir and Metcalfa) from Italy were tested for their antibacterial activity against pathogens commonly associated with wound and burn infections, including methicillin-resistant ...
