Overproduction of Laccase by Trametes versicolor and Pycnoporus sanguineus in Farnesol-Pineapple Waste Solid Fermentation

Fermentation, 2023
The effect of farnesol, a sesquiterpene alcohol, on the production of laccases by Trametes versicolor and Pycnoporus sanguineus in pineapple waste solid-state fermentation was evaluated.

Antimicrobial effect of farnesol, a Candida albicans quorum sensing molecule, on Paracoccidioides brasiliensis growth and morphogenesis

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2009
Background Farnesol is a sesquiterpene alcohol produced by many organisms, and also found in several essential oils. Its role as a quorum sensing molecule and as a virulence factor of Candida albicans has been well described.

The fungal quorum-sensing molecule, farnesol, regulates the immune response of vaginal epithelial cells against Candida albicans

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Farnesol is a Candida-secreted quorum-sensing molecule of great interest as a potential antifungal agent for serious and hardly curable infections—candidiasis, especially vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).

Farnesol-Induced Apoptosis in Candida albicans [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2009
ABSTRACT Farnesol, a precursor in the isoprenoid/sterol pathway, was recently identified as a quorum-sensing molecule produced by the fungal pathogen Candida albicans . Farnesol is involved in the inhibition of germination and biofilm formation by C. albicans and can be cytotoxic at

Now Playing: Farnesol in the Biofilm

Chemistry & Biology, 2014
The evolutionary pathway of specialized metabolism often takes unexpected, perplexing turns. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Feng and coworkers provide evidence for a unique phosphatase whose enzymatic product plays a critical role in biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis.

Enhancement of Rotator Cuff Healing with Farnesol-Impregnated Gellan Gum/Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Membranes in a Rabbit Model

Pharmaceutics, 2021
Most rotator cuff (RC) tears occur at the bone–tendon interface and cause disability and pain. Farnesol, a sesquiterpene compound, can exert antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects and promote collagen synthesis.

Biologically Active Fluorescent Farnesol Analogs [PDF]

Chemistry & Biology, 2005
We describe ten polyene analogs of farnesol, typified by 3,7,11-trimethyl-2,4,6,8,10-dodecapentenaldehyde oxime, which preserve the length, cross-section, and approximate hydrophobicity of farnesol. Four of the ten display strong quorum-sensing activity in the human pathogen Candida albicans, with IC(50) values for inhibition of germ-tube formation as ...

Farnesol and farnesal dehydrogenase(s) in corpora allata of the tobacco hornworm moth, Manduca sexta.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
The metabolism of [3H]farnesol was studied in cell-free preparations of corpora allata from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, to assess the role of this presumed biosynthetic precursor of juvenile hormone (JH) III.

Translational effect of farnesol on TUP1, a key regulator of morphological differentiation in the human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans.

Academy Journal of Science and Engineering, 2022
Candida albicans is an opportunistic polymorphic yeast that can cause life threatening systemic infections in immunocompromised individuals. It resides as commensal organism on the skin, in the gastrointestinal tracts and in the genitourinary tracts of ...
