Hacking into bacterial biofilms: a new therapeutic challenge [PDF]
, 2011 International audienceMicrobiologists have extensively worked during the past decade on a particular phase of the bacterial cell cycle known as biofilm, in which single-celled individuals gather together to form a sedentary but dynamic community within a

Synthesis and analysis of stable isotope-labelled N-acyl homoserine lactones [PDF]
, 2016 Aliphatic aldehydes were deuterated at the alpha-position via a base-catalyzed exchange reaction with D2O. These deuterated building blocks were used for the synthesis of labelled analogues of quorum sensing signal molecules belonging to the three major ...

Identification of Functional LsrB-Like Autoinducer-2 Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2009 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.

Phytohormone-mediated interkingdom signaling shapes the outcome of rice-Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae interactions [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Small-molecule hormones are well known to play key roles in the plant immune signaling network that is activated upon pathogen perception. In contrast, little is known about whether phytohormones also directly influence microbial virulence ...

Molecular processes underlying synergistic linuron mineralization in a triple-species bacterial consortium biofilm revealed by differential transcriptomics [PDF]
, 2018 The proteobacteria Variovorax sp. WDL1, Comamonas testosteroni WDL7, and Hyphomicrobium sulfonivorans WDL6 compose a triple-species consortium that synergistically degrades and grows on the phenylurea herbicide linuron.

Evidence of autoinducer activity in naturally occurring biofilms [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006 N-Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules have been shown to act as mediators of population density-dependent (quorum-sensing) gene expression in numerous Gram-negative bacteria. Functions associated with AHL include light production in Vibrio fischeri, expression of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and conjugation in Agrobacterium ...

Cannabigerol Prevents Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation of Vibrio harveyi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid naturally present in trace amounts in the Cannabis plant. So far, CBG has been shown to exert diverse activities in eukaryotes. However, much less is known about its effects on prokaryotes.
