Natural Lactone‐Based Quorum Sensing Inhibitors Attenuate Virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Targeting bacterial communication, lab‐generated lactones (Lx) inhibited biofilm formation and eliminated mature biofilms within 24–48 h. Lx treatment also suppressed pyocyanin and rhamnolipid production while downregulating rhlR expression, highlighting their promise as potent quorum‐sensing (QS) inhibitors and next‐generation antibiofilm therapeutics.

Analysis of biosurfactants from industrially-viable Pseudomonas strain isolated from crude oil suggests how rhamnolipids congeners affect on emulsification property and antimicrobial activity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Rhamnolipid biosurfactants produced mainly by Pseudomonas sp. had been reported to possess a wide range of potential industrial application. These biosurfactants are produced as monorhamnolipid (MRL) and di-rhamnolipid (DRL) congeners.

Liposomal Encapsulation of Damson Plum Phenolics and Their Incorporation Into Functional Milk Beverages

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
Damson plum phenolic extract was encapsulated in soy lecithin‐based liposomes, followed by freeze‐drying and incorporation into milk. The liposomal delivery system improved the retention and recovery of key phenolic compounds, including neochlorogenic acid, rosmarinic acid, and rutin, during 28 days of refrigerated storage at 4°C, demonstrating a ...

Downstream Processing of Biosurfactants

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2012
Sophorolipids (SL) are a promising biosurfactant due to their biodegradability and broad range of application in cleaning, cosmetics or agriculture. Downstream processing of biotechnological products is often challenging because of the complex mixture of many components in low concentrations, unknown thermodynamic data and high water content.
