Protist predation can favour cooperation within bacterial species [PDF]

, 2013
Here, we studied how protist predation affects cooperation in the opportunistic pathogen bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which uses quorum sensing (QS) cell-to-cell signalling to regulate the production of public goods.

Distinct Defence Mechanisms of Allelopathic Rice Against Quinclorac‐Susceptible and ‐Resistant Barnyardgrass: Involvement of Specific Metabolites and Rhizosheath Microbiota

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allelopathic rice is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for sustainable weed management. Resistance to the herbicide quinclorac is widespread in barnyardgrass, but it remains unclear whether allelopathic rice exerts the same defence against herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant barnyardgrass. We conducted integrated transcriptomic,

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 ...

The phenazine pyocyanin is a terminal signalling factor in the quorum sensing network of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

, 2006
Certain members of the fluorescent pseudomonads produce and secrete phenazines. These heterocyclic, redox-active compounds are toxic to competing organisms, and the cause of these antibiotic effects has been the focus of intense research efforts.

Effect of beneficial microbes applications on nutritional profiles of organic tomatoes revealed by LC‐MS‐qTOF metabolomics

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2091-2099, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The use of microorganisms and biostimulants is increasingly supported in agriculture because of their advantageous impact on plant disease management, growth enhancement and the synthesis of beneficial bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs). Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important crop and is consumed worldwide because it is an

Antibacterial and anti-quorum sensing activities of selected italian honeys against antibiotic-resistant pathogens [PDF]

, 2015
Three nectar honeys (eucalyptus, thyme and forest) and two honeydew honeys (fir and Metcalfa) from Italy were tested for their antibacterial activity against pathogens commonly associated with wound and burn infections, including methicillin-resistant ...

Programming Next‐Generation Synthetic Biosensors by Genetic Circuit Design

Advanced 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 ...

Directed evolution of Vibrio fischeri LuxR for increased sensitivity to a broad spectrum of acyl-homoserine lactones [PDF]

, 2005
LuxR-type transcriptional regulators play key roles in quorum-sensing systems that employ acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HSLs) as signal molecules.

Molecular Communication Is the Internet of Brain Missing Key: A Comprehensive Overview of Background Technologies and the Generic Framework

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
A novel three‐layer architecture is proposed for cell‐to‐cell communication, integrating molecular, nano‐electronic, and digital components. It enables bio‐integrated applications such as remote emotional touching, consensual telepathy, and autonomous drug delivery. Molecular Communication (MC) is utilized with advanced implants, modulation techniques,
