Quorum Quenching Revisited—From Signal Decays to Signalling Confusion
Sensors, 2012 In a polymicrobial community, while some bacteria are communicating with neighboring cells (quorum sensing), others are interrupting the communication (quorum quenching), thus creating a constant arms race between intercellular communication. In the past

AhlX, an N-acylhomoserine Lactonase with Unique Properties [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 N-Acylhomoserine lactonase degrades the lactone ring of N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) and has been widely suggested as a promising candidate for use in bacterial disease control. While a number of AHL lactonases have been characterized, none of them has been developed as a commercially available enzymatic product for in vitro AHL quenching due to ...

Effects of Signal Disruption Depends on the Substrate Preference of the Lactonase
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Many bacteria produce and use extracellular signaling molecules such as acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) to communicate and coordinate behavior in a cell-density dependent manner, via a communication system called quorum sensing (QS).

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Mycotoxins remain a persistent threat to the safety and quality of cereal grains and other agricultural products, and their impact on human health continues to raise global concerns. In many situations, the practices traditionally used to control these toxins are no longer sufficiently effective. They can be costly, difficult to implement on a
