AhlX, an N-acylhomoserine Lactonase with Unique Properties
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.

Serratia spp. bacteria evolved in Aotearoa‐New Zealand for infection of endemic scarab beetles
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 121-143, June 2025.ABSTRACT The Melolonthinae branch of the beetle family Scarabaeidae has evolved in isolation in Aotearoa, radiating into >100 endemic species, since Aotearoa separated from Gondwanaland 82 million years ago. The group includes important pasture pests, such as the New Zealand grass grub Costelytra giveni and the manuka beetle Pyronota festiva.

Quorum Sensing and Expression of Virulence in Pectobacteria
Sensors, 2012 Quorum sensing (QS) is a population density-dependent regulatory mechanism in which gene expression is coupled to the accumulation of a chemical signaling molecule. QS systems are widespread among the plant soft-rotting bacteria.

Discovery of new diketopiperazines inhibiting Burkholderia cenocepacia quorum sensing in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
, 2016 Burkholderia cenocepacia, an opportunistic respiratory pathogen particularly relevant for cystic fibrosis patients, is difficult to eradicate due to its high level of resistance to most clinically relevant antimicrobials.

Diversity‐Oriented Synthesis and Antibiofilm Evaluation of Furan‐2‐Carboxamides
ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 9, May 5, 2025.Navigating through the chemical space of antibiofilm agents! Furan‐2‐carboxamides inhibit the production of this extracellular shield in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by modulating the linkers and substituents of the central core. The discovery offers a solution to the metabolically unstable antibiofilm agents based on furanones, leading to the design of more

Quorum sensing N-acylhomoserine lactone signals affect nitrogen fixation in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC7120 [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2011 Bacteria secrete small signal molecules into the environment that induce self and neighbour gene expression. This phenomenon, termed quorum sensing, allows cooperative behaviours that increase the fitness of the group. The best-studied signal molecules are the N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), secreted by a growing number of bacterial species including

Pandoraea sp. RB-44, A Novel Quorum Sensing Soil Bacterium
Sensors, 2013 Proteobacteria are known to communicate via signaling molecules and this process is known as quorum sensing. The most commonly studied quorum sensing molecules are N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) that consists of a homoserine lactone moiety and an N ...
