Substrate Specificity of Actinoplanes Antibiotic Peptide Lactonases [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology, 1969
A constitutive peptide lactonase from Actinoplanes missouriensis hydrolyzed echinomycin, stendomycin, thiostrepton, vernamycin B, staphylomycin S, and etamycin. An induced lactonase hydrolyzed actinomycin but not the other peptide lactones.

Labrenzia sp. BM1: A Quorum Quenching Bacterium That Degrades N-acyl Homoserine Lactones via Lactonase Activity

open access: yes, 2014
We report the degradation of quorum sensing N-acylhomoserine lactone molecules by a bacterium isolated from a Malaysian marine water sample. MALDI-TOF and phylogenetic analysis indicated this isolate BM1 clustered closely to Labrenzia sp.

SacPox from the thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is a proficient lactonase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceBackground: SacPox, an enzyme from the extremophilic crenarchaeal Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (Sac), was isolated by virtue of its phosphotriesterase (or paraoxonase; Pox) activity, i.e.

Quorum Quenching Lactonase Strengthens Bacteriophage and Antibiotic Arsenal Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clinical Isolates

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Many bacteria use quorum sensing (QS), a bacterial communication system based on the diffusion and perception of small signaling molecules, to synchronize their behavior in a cell-density dependent manner.

Modification and Assembly of a Versatile Lactonase for Bacterial Quorum Quenching [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
This work sets out to provide a self-assembled biopolymer capsule activated with a multi-functional enzyme for localized delivery. This enzyme, SsoPox, which is a lactonase and phosphotriesterase, provides a means of interrupting bacterial communication pathways that have been shown to mediate pathogenicity.

Regenerative Microbiology: Harnessing Bacterial Antagonism and Spatiotemporal Signaling for Diabetic Wound Repair

open access: yesSmart Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
This review introduces “Regenerative Microbiology,” a framework that uses bacterial antagonism and phage therapy to address diabetic wound dysbiosis. By activating the p40/EGFR/PI3K axis and providing a vascular‐stratified precision roadmap, this approach shifts the paradigm from antimicrobial suppression to intelligent, microbe‐driven tissue ...

Three Decades of Soil N2O Research—Insights and Gaps

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Progress in N2O Research and Key Breakthroughs and Transitions from 1990 to 2025 across three domains: (A) process understanding, (B) microbial ecology, and (C) modelling of soil N2O emissions. ABSTRACT Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) whose atmospheric concentration continues to rise, largely driven by nitrogen (N) inputs to ...

Process-Oriented Review of Bacterial Quorum Quenching for Membrane Biofouling Mitigation in Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs)

open access: yesMembranes, 2016
Quorum Quenching (QQ) has been developed over the last few years to overcome practical issues related to membrane biofouling, which is currently the major difficulty thwarting the extensive development of membrane bioreactors (MBRs). QQ is the disruption
