Quorum-sensing regulates biofilm formation in Vibrio scophthalmi [PDF]

, 2013
Background: In a previous study, we demonstrated that Vibrio scophthalmi, the most abundant Vibrio species among the marine aerobic or facultatively anaerobic bacteria inhabiting the intestinal tract of healthy cultured turbot (Scophthalmus maximus ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Plant Growth–Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) in Biofertilization and Disease Suppression of Crops

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial soil bacteria that colonize the rhizosphere and enhance plant growth through direct and indirect mechanisms, including nutrient solubilization, phytohormone production, suppression of phytopathogens, and activation of plant defense mechanisms.

Omics Analysis of Lignin Degradation by the Gut Microbiomes of Wood‐Eating Hypomeces squamosus Fabricius

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
(1) The dominant lignin‐degrading genus taxon was Pantoea. (2) The key genes MHS‐HN_11398_2 (protocatechuate 2,3‐dioxygenase) and MHS‐HN_4821_1 (muconolactone d‐isomerase) were identified. (3) Three degrading pathways, ortho‐cleavage and meta‐cleavage of catechol, and ring‐opening of protocatechuate, were found. ABSTRACT Microbial degradation of lignin

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

Frontiers 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.

Detection of quorum-sensing-related molecules in [PDF]

, 2008
Background Cell-to-cell communication (also referred to as quorum sensing) based on N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) is a widespread response to environmental change in Gram-negative bacteria.

PON2 Deficiency Leads to Increased Susceptibility to Diet-Induced Obesity. [PDF]

, 2019
(1) Background: Paraoxonase 2 (PON2) is a ubiquitously expressed protein localized to endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Previous studies have shown that PON2 exhibits anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory functions, and PON2-deficient (PON2-def) mice ...

Biocontrol of Aflatoxigenic Maize Molds Using Lactobacillus spp.‐Based Formulations

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study reviews Lactobacillus spp. use to combat aflatoxin contamination in food, specifically maize. Aflatoxins, produced by Aspergillus molds, are dangerous mycotoxins. Current control methods have limitations, prompting exploration of biocontrol alternatives.

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

Membranes, 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
