Peptides as quorum sensing molecules : measurement techniques and obtained levels in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated in a cell-density dependent way, a phenomenon called quorum sensing. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use this type of communication, though the signal molecules (auto-inducers) used by ...

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

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.

Programming Next‐Generation Synthetic Biosensors by Genetic Circuit Design

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
Synthetic biology enables genetic circuit‐based biosensing to detect diverse targets, process signals, and transduce them into readable outputs or intracellular regulatory activities. However, field deployment and real‐world application of such synthetic biosensors face considerable challenges in sensitivity, specificity, speed, stability, and ...

Hacking into bacterial biofilms: a new therapeutic challenge [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Phytochemical Quorum-Sensing Inhibitors Against Bacterial Pathogens: Mechanisms of Action and Translational Challenges

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health challenge, driven by the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens and exacerbated by extensive antibiotic use, which imposes intense selective pressure and disrupts host-associated ...

Information processing and signal integration in bacterial quorum sensing

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2009
Bacteria communicate using secreted chemical signaling molecules called autoinducers in a process known as quorum sensing. The quorum‐sensing network of the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi uses three autoinducers, each known to encode distinct ecological

The Function of Cyclo(Phe-Pro) in Gene Expression of Vibrio Harveyi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Vibrio harveyi is a bioluminescent bacterium and the organism in which quorum sensing was discovered. It was recently found that a class of molecules, cyclic dipeptides, may be a new kind of quorum sensing signal that may affect other species in the ...

Genome-wide survey and phylogeny of S-Ribosylhomocysteinase (LuxS) enzyme in bacterial genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: The study of survival and communication of pathogenic bacteria is important to combat diseases caused by such micro-organisms. Bacterial cells communicate with each other using a density-dependent cell-cell communication process called ...
