<i>In Silico</i> Bioprospection of <i>Daniellia oliveri-</i>Based Products as Quorum Sensing Modulators of <i>Escherichia coli</i> SdiA. [PDF]
Biochem Res IntEscherichia coli is a common pathogen responsible for various gut‐related infections, and it utilizes the SdiA‐mediated quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate biofilm formation, other virulence factors, and pathogenicity. With rising antibiotic resistance, there is a pressing need to discover alternative QS inhibitors (QSIs) targeting SdiA.

Discovering PETases: An Interlink Between Engineering Enzymes and Microbiomes. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolIn this review‐type article, we discuss some recent trends in the identification of polyethylene terephthalate‐degrading enzymes (PETases) from nature. We highlight that the discovery of novel PETases can be improved by an interlink between reshaping microbiomes and engineering proteins.
