From trade‐off to synergy: microbial insights into enhancing plant growth and immunity
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 22, Issue 9, Page 2461-2471, September 2024.Summary The reduction in crop yield caused by pathogens and pests presents a significant challenge to global food security. Genetic engineering, which aims to bolster plant defence mechanisms, emerges as a cost‐effective solution for disease control. However, this approach often incurs a growth penalty, known as the growth‐defence trade‐off.

Flavonoids, gut microbiota, and host lipid metabolism
Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2024.Abstract Flavonoids are widely distributed in nature and have a variety of beneficial biological effects, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐obesity effects. All of these are related to gut microbiota, and flavonoids also serve as a bridge between the host and gut microbiota. Flavonoids are commonly used to modify the composition of the

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Quorum sensing (QS) is a means of cell-to-cell communication that uses diffusible signaling molecules that are sensed by the population to determine population density, thus allowing co-ordinate gene regulation in response to population density.

Induction of microbial secondary metabolism [PDF]
, 2010 Precursors often stimulate production of secondary metabolites either by increasing the amount of a limiting precursor, by inducing a biosynthetic enzyme (synthase) or both.

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 15, April 17, 2024.This review focuses on the specific mechanisms by which nanomaterials regulate bacterial quorum sensing in the signal supply and signal transduction cascade processes. Furthermore, based on the influencing factors of nanomaterial itself and environment, optimization strategies to enhance the QS regulatory activity are comprehensively summarized.

Deciphering Physiological Functions of AHL Quorum Quenching Acylases
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 N-Acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-acylase (also known as amidase or amidohydrolase) is a class of enzyme that belongs to the Ntn-hydrolase superfamily. As the name implies, AHL-acylases are capable of hydrolysing AHLs, the most studied signaling molecules ...
