Organic Nanoparticles in Food Systems as Antimicrobial Agents: Synthesis Strategies, Functional Properties, and Biofilm Inhibition Mechanisms

open access: yesNano Select, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Organic nanoparticles (ONPs) derived from biopolymers provide sustainable antimicrobial platforms with tunable physicochemical properties. By enabling controlled delivery of bioactive compounds, ONPs disrupt microbial membranes, induce oxidative stress, and inhibit quorum sensing.

Rice and bean AHL-mimic quorum-sensing signals specifically interfere with the capacity to form biofilms by plant-associated bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Many bacteria regulate their gene expression in response to changes in their population density in a process called quorum sensing (QS), which involves communication between cells mediated by small diffusible signal molecules termed autoinducers.

Phage-Encoded LuxR-Type Receptors Responsive to Host-Produced Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Autoinducers

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of cell-to-cell communication that bacteria use to orchestrate collective behaviors. QS relies on the cell-density-dependent production, accumulation, and receptor-mediated detection of extracellular signaling molecules ...

Quorum sensing in thermophiles: prevalence of autoinducer-2 system [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2018
Quorum sensing is a mechanism of cell to cell communication that requires the production and detection of signaling molecules called autoinducers. Although mesophilic bacteria is known to utilize this for synchronization of physiological processes such as bioluminescence, virulence, biofilm formation, motility and cell competency through signaling ...

Combined Effect of Nisin and Ohmic Heating on Bacillus cereus Inactivation and Quality Preservation in Apple Juice

open access: yesJournal of Food Safety, Volume 46, Issue 2, April 2026.
Apple juice was prepared and treated using Lactococcus lactis fermentation combined with nisin‐assisted ohmic heating (60 V, 30 s). The combined treatment achieved complete inactivation of Bacillus cereus. This approach preserves juice quality while providing an energy‐efficient and sustainable processing method. ABSTRACT There is increasing demand for
