Microorganisms, 2020 Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density-dependent mechanism that regulates the expression of specific genes in microbial cells. Quorum quenching (QQ) is a promising strategy for attenuating pathogenicity by interfering with the QS system of pathogens.

Sinorhizobium Meliloti, A Bacterium Lacking The Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) Synthase, Responds To AI-2 Supplied By Other Bacteria [PDF]
, 2008 Many bacterial species respond to the quorum-sensing signal autoinducer-2 (AI-2) by regulating different niche-specific genes. Here, we show that Sinorhizobium meliloti, a plant symbiont lacking the gene for the AI-2 synthase, while not capable of ...

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 ...

Effect of Homoserine on Growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis: Inhibition of Glutamate Transport by Homoserine [PDF]
Microbiology, 1987 Homoserine strongly inhibited growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis in medium containing glutamate as the sole source of nitrogen but was without effect when asparagine, alanine or glutamine was the sole nitrogen source. It was readily taken up by glutamate-grown cells, reaching an intracellular concentration of over 20 mM after 4 h incubation. The primary

Identifying Cytokine Motif‐Containing, Immunomodulatory Bacterial Proteins in Human Gut Microbiome
Advanced Science, EarlyView.By building and constructing HMM (Upper left, blue), the authors identify CMCPs in bacteria genomes and CRC related metagenomes and enriched CRC‐related CMCPs (Upper right, blue). They analyze sequence and structural similarity of hits (Lower left, green), test function with engineered EcN delivered to tumors in a mouse tumor model (Lower right, pink ...

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis‐related chronic rhinosinusitis (CF‐CRS) that produces phenazine metabolites pyocyanin and 1‐hydroxyphenazine (1‐HP), which may have detrimental effects on mitochondria, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Ca2+ signaling, and apoptosis.

Identification of small RNAs abundant in Burkholderia cenocepacia biofilms reveal putative regulators with a potential role in carbon and iron metabolism [PDF]
, 2017 Small RNAs play a regulatory role in many central metabolic processes of bacteria, as well as in developmental processes such as biofilm formation. Small RNAs of Burkholderia cenocepacia, an opportunistic pathogenic beta-proteobacterium, are to date not ...

Quorum Sensing Activity of Mesorhizobium sp. F7 Isolated from Potable Water
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 We isolated a bacterial isolate (F7) from potable water. The strain was identified as Mesorhizobium sp. by 16S rDNA gene phylogenetic analysis and screened for N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) production by an AHL biosensor. The AHL profile of the isolate
