Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Many synbiotics are effective for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In the treatment of T2DM, synbiotics often regulate the composition of intestinal flora, which autoinducer-2 (AI-2) may play an important role. Whether the

Autoinducer-2-mediated communication network within human gut microbiota. [PDF]
ISME JAbstract Quorum sensing (QS) is a chemical communication process that connects microbial members in various microbial systems. Bacterial communication networks mediated by QS play important roles in the regulation of intestinal microecological balance as well as nutrition and metabolism of the host.

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2007 Rumen is an example of a complex microbial ecosystem where extensive intraspecies as well as interspecies cell-cell cross-communication is expected, but little is known about. Four ruminal Prevotella strains, Prevotella bryantii B14, TC1-1 and TF1-3, and

N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Production by Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Human Tongue Surface
Sensors, 2012 Bacteria communicate by producing quorum sensing molecules called autoinducers, which include autoinducer-1, an N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone (AHL), and autoinducer-2.

PLoS Biology, 2019 Vibrio cholerae possesses multiple quorum-sensing (QS) systems that control virulence and biofilm formation among other traits. At low cell densities, when QS autoinducers are absent, V. cholerae forms biofilms.

Direct Quantitation of the Quorum Sensing Signal, Autoinducer-2, in Clinically Relevant Samples by Liquid Chromatography−Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
, 2016 Quorum Sensing is a type of bacterial cell-to-cell signaling that allows for cell density dependent regulation of gene expression. Many of the behaviors mediated by quorum sensing are critical for bacterial colonization or infection, and autoinducer-2 ...

Agent-Based Modeling Demonstrates How Local Chemotactic Behavior Can Shape Biofilm Architecture
mSphere, 2019 Bacteria are often found living in aggregated multicellular communities known as biofilms. Biofilms are three-dimensional structures that confer distinct physical and biological properties to the collective of cells living within them.

Biosynthesis of autoinducer-2 as the possible mechanism to enhance decolourisation of Azo dye by citrobacter freundii A1 [PDF]
, 2012 In this study, we attempted to understand possible mechanism associated with bacterial azo dye decolourisation via mass spectral analysis and shotgun cloning of genomic DNA from C. freundii A1.

BMC Research Notes, 2011 Background The luxS gene in Shewanella oneidensis was shown to encode an autoinducer-2 (AI-2)-like molecule, the postulated universal bacterial signal, but the impaired biofilm growth of a luxS deficient mutant could not be restored by AI-2, indicating ...

Quorum sensing in Porphyromonas gingivalis and oral microbial interactions: a scoping review
Frontiers in Oral HealthObjectivePorphyromonas gingivalis, a major periodontal pathogen, interacts with other oral microbes through quorum sensing, enhancing its growth and virulence, which contributes to periodontitis.
