Spatial Heterogeneity of Autoinducer Regulation Systems [PDF]
Autoinducer signals enable coordinated behaviour of bacterial populations, a phenomenon originally described as quorum sensing. Autoinducer systems are often controlled by environmental substances as nutrients or secondary metabolites (signals) from ...

Exploiting quorum sensing interfering strategies in gram-negative bacteria for the enhancement of environmental applications [PDF]
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 ...

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

Effect of autoinducer-2 on biofilm formation of mixed strains derived from kefir [PDF]
The mechanisms underlying kefir grain formation remain to be elucidated. Quorum sensing is a new direction for investigating this process. To explore the formation mechanism of kefir grain through quorum sensing, it is first necessary to establish its ...

The Janthinobacterium sp. HH01 genome encodes a homologue of the V. cholerae CqsA and L. pneumophila LqsA autoinducer synthases [PDF]
Janthinobacteria commonly form biofilms on eukaryotic hosts and are known to synthesize antibacterial and antifungal compounds. Janthinobacterium sp. HH01 was recently isolated from an aquatic environment and its genome sequence was established.

Indole intercepts the communication between enteropathogenic E. coli and Vibrio cholerae
Reported numbers of diarrheal samples exhibiting co-infections or multiple infections, with two or more infectious agents, are rising, likely due to advances in bacterial diagnostic techniques.

Bacterial Lighthouses—Real-Time Detection of Yersinia enterocolitica by Quorum Sensing
Foodborne zoonotic pathogens have a severe impact on food safety. The demand for animal-based food products (meat, milk, and eggs) is increasing, and therefore faster methods are necessary to detect infected animals or contaminated food before products ...

Dynamics analysis of coupled synthetic genetic repressilators [PDF]
We have investigated dynamics of synthetic genetic oscillators - repressilators - coupled through autoinducer diffusion. The model of the system with phase-repulsive coupling structure is under consideration.

Protein Model and Function Analysis in Quorum-Sensing Pathway of Vibrio qinghaiensis sp.-Q67
Bioluminescent bacteria are mainly found in marine habitats. Vibrio qinghaiensis sp.-Q67 (Q67), a nonpathogenic freshwater bacterium, has been a focus due to its wide use in the monitoring of environmental pollution and the assessment of toxicity ...
