On P Systems as a Modelling Tool for Biological Systems [PDF]
We introduce a variant of P systems where rules have associated a real number providing a measure for the “intrinsic reactivity”of the rule and roughly corresponding to the kinetic coefficient which, in bio-chemistry, is usually associated to each ...

ExpI and PhzI are descendants of the long lost cognate signal synthase for SdiA. [PDF]
SdiA of E. coli and Salmonella is a LuxR homolog that detects N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). Most LuxR homologs function together with a cognate AHL synthase (a LuxI homolog), but SdiA does not.

Abstract Mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs) are natural sunscreens synthesized by a wide range of organisms. Although the induction of MAA production by ultraviolet radiation is well established, the signaling pathways involved and specific functions of MAAs under other stress conditions remain poorly understood.

LuxR Solos in the Plant Endophyte Kosakonia sp. Strain KO348
Cell-cell signaling in bacteria allows a synchronized and coordinated behavior of a microbial community. LuxR solos represent a subfamily of proteins in proteobacteria which most commonly detect and respond to signals produced exogenously by other microbes or eukaryotic hosts.

In this cultivation‐based study, two novel moderately thermophilic Nitrospira enrichments were obtained from the geothermal field Las Máquinas in the Neuquén Province, Argentina. Both nitrite oxidizers, belonging to lineage V or the novel taxonomic lineage VIII, contain quorum‐sensing genes and a high genome GC content of 60.6% and 69.4%.

Pattern Formation with a Compartmental Lateral Inhibition System
We propose a compartmental lateral inhibition system that generates contrasting patterns of gene expression between neighboring compartments. The system consists of a set of compartments interconnected by channels.

Programming Next‐Generation Synthetic Biosensors by Genetic Circuit Design
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 ...
