LuxS influencesEscherichia colibiofilm formation through autoinducer-2-dependent and autoinducer-2-independent modalities [PDF]
Escherichia coli produces biofilms in response to the small molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2), a product of the LuxS enzyme. LuxS is part of the activated methyl cycle and could also affect biofilm development by AI-2-independent effects on metabolism. A luxS deletion mutant of E.

Ιn Vitro Screening of γ-Aminobutyric Acid and Autoinducer-2 Signalling in Lactic Acid Bacteria Exhibiting Probiotic Potential Isolated from Natural Black Conservolea Olives. [PDF]
In the present study, 33 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) previously isolated from natural black Conservolea olives were assessed for their probiotic potential in vitro, as well as for their autoinducer-2 (AI-2) activity under standard growth ...

Identification of Functional LsrB-Like Autoinducer-2 Receptors [PDF]
ABSTRACTAlthough a variety of bacterial species have been reported to use the interspecies communication signal autoinducer-2 (AI-2) to regulate multiple behaviors, the molecular mechanisms of AI-2 recognition and signal transduction remain poorly understood.

Analysis of Autoinducer-2 Quorum Sensing in Yersinia pestis [PDF]
ABSTRACT The autoinducer-2 (AI-2) quorum-sensing system has been linked to diverse phenotypes and regulatory changes in pathogenic bacteria. In the present study, we performed a molecular and biochemical characterization of the AI-2 system in Yersinia pestis , the causative agent of plague. In strain CO92,

Autoinducer-2 May Be a New Biomarker for Monitoring Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis. [PDF]
El autoinductor-2 (AI-2) tiene un papel ampliamente aceptado en la comunicación bacteriana intra e interespecie. Poco se sabe sobre las relaciones entre AI-2 y NEC. Este estudio encontró que los niveles de AI-2 en pacientes y en un modelo de ratón NEC se detectaron utilizando el sistema de ensayo Vibrio harveyi BB170.

Sinorhizobium Meliloti, A Bacterium Lacking The Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) Synthase, Responds To AI-2 Supplied By Other Bacteria [PDF]
Many bacterial species respond to the quorum-sensing signal autoinducer-2 (AI-2) by regulating different niche-specific genes. Here, we show that Sinorhizobium meliloti, a plant symbiont lacking the gene for the AI-2 synthase, while not capable of ...

As a universal quorum sensing (QS) signal, autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is utilized by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to coordinate several group behaviors, such as biofilm formation, virulence, and motility, when the bacterial cell density ...

Quorum sensing signaling molecules produced by reference and emerging soft-rot bacteria (Dickeya and Pectobacterium spp.). [PDF]
BackgroundSeveral small diffusible molecules are involved in bacterial quorum sensing and virulence. The production of autoinducers-1 and -2, quinolone, indole and γ-amino butyrate signaling molecules was investigated in a set of soft-rot bacteria ...

Peptides as quorum sensing molecules : measurement techniques and obtained levels in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
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 ...

Salmonella Typhimurium and Multidirectional Communication in the Gut [PDF]
The mammalian digestive tract is home to trillions of microbes, including bacteria, archaea, protozoa, fungi and viruses. In monogastric mammals the stomach and small intestine harbor diverse bacterial populations but are typically less populated than ...
