Insights into additional lactone-based signaling circuits in Streptomyces: existence of acyl-homoserine lactones and LuxI/LuxR homologs in six Streptomyces species

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), mediating pivotal physiological activities through quorum sensing (QS), have conventionally been considered limited to Gram-negative bacteria.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

The lux autoinducer-receptor interaction in Vibrio harveyi: binding parameters and structural requirements for the autoinducer [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1995
To assess the binding parameters and the structure-function relationship of the Vibrio harveyi lux autoinducer, N-(D-3-hydroxybutanoyl)homoserine lactone (D-HBHL), to light emission, a series of acylhomoserine lactone analogues were synthesized and their effects on the stimulation of luminescence of an autoinducer-deficient mutant of V.

N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Production by Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolated from Human Tongue Surface

open access: yesSensors, 2012
Bacteria communicate by producing quorum sensing molecules called autoinducers, which include autoinducer-1, an N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone (AHL), and autoinducer-2.

Examination of AI-2 quorum sensing System in Prevotella bryantii and Prevotella ruminicola-like strains by using bioluminiscence assay

open access: yesActa 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

Quorum-sensing synthase mutations re-calibrate autoinducer concentrations in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to enhance pathogenesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Quorum sensing is a mechanism of bacterial communication that controls virulence gene expression. Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulates virulence via two synthase/transcription factor receptor pairs: LasI/R and RhlI/R.

Relay Architectures and Ecological Strategies of Quorum Sensing Effects on Microbial Interactions

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
Quorum‐sensing activity in one population affects neighbouring populations through direct signal perception, QS‐regulated chemical effectors, or host‐ or environment‐mediated relays. Across distinct habitats, these relay architectures are associated with ecological strategies ranging from shared signal accessibility and reciprocal responsiveness to ...

The Pseudomonas chlororaphis PCL1391 Sigma Regulator psrA Represses the Production of the Antifungal Metabolite Phenazine-1-Carboxamide

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
The rhizobacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis PCL1391 produces the antifungal metabolite phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN), which is a crucial trait in its competition with the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.

Genomic and Phenotypic Classification of Staphylococcus Species Isolated From Delhi Air

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Multiple Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from the outdoor polluted air of the Indian Capital, New Delhi. The bacterial samples were collected from 6 different locations, and the whole genome of four Staphylococcus isolates was sequenced in their entirety. This study presents the comparative genomic analysis of these four isolates.
