Artificial Symbiosis for Bulk Production of Bacterial Cellulose Composites

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
Co‐cultivation of the cellulose‐producing bacterium with the microalga enables bulk formation of bacterial cellulose under static incubation, with photosynthetically active oxygen‐generating sites throughout the medium. This symbiotic platform supports 3D cellulosic constructs with geometries dictated by the vessel shape.

Quorum Quenching Enzymes and Biofouling Control

Journal of Life Science, 2016
Bacterial cell to cell communication strategies called quorum sensing (QS) using small diffusible signaling molecules (auto-inducers) govern the expression of various genes dependent on their population density manner. As a consequence of synthesis and response to the signaling molecules, individual planktonic cells synchronized group behaviors to ...

NIR Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Antibacterial Hydrogels for Synergistic MRSA Biofilm Eradication and Wound Regeneration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
The nanohybrid hydrogel (Fe‐BOS@C/H Gel) is composed of Fe‐Bi2O2‐XS (Fe‐BOS) photocatalysts and CS‐ADH/OHA (C/H) hydrogel. Fe‐BOS photocatalysts achieve near‐infrared (NIR) light‐driven antibacterial photocatalytic/mild photothermal therapy (APCT/MPTT), effectively eliminating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. The degradation

PvdQ Quorum Quenching Acylase Attenuates Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence in a Mouse Model of Pulmonary Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the predominant pathogen in pulmonary infections associated with cystic fibrosis. Quorum sensing (QS) systems regulate the production of virulence factors and play an important role in the establishment of successful P ...

Broadening the Workflow for Synchrotron‐Based X‐Ray Fluorescence and X‐Ray Absorption Spectroscopy Imaging of Low‐Abundance Cellular Metals

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.
We present an accessible plunge‐freezing and freeze‐drying workflow for preparing adherent mammalian cells for synchrotron‐based nanofocused X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), enabling sub‐micron mapping of metal distribution and chemical speciation.

Engineered Probiotics: The Next‐Generation Therapeutics to Combat Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacterial Infections

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Engineered probiotics secretes fusion proteins which potentially neutralized the toxins secreted by other microbial communities. ABSTRACT On a global scale, the escalating burden of infectious diseases, predominantly attributed to bacterial pathogens, especially drug‐resistant strains, has progressed into a critical concern for clinical management and ...

Quorum-Quenching Acylases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

, 2007
The β-lactam acylases, mostly found by screening samples from natural sources, represent a unique family of heterodimeric N-terminal nucleophile hydrolases. Interestingly, most of the strains found producing β-lactam acylases are Pseudomonas species. We have shown that these enzymes show high selectivity towards the acid side chain, but are far more ...

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

The flavonoid-sensing regulator AefR is involved in modulating quorum sensing through repressing the MexEF-OprN efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens

mSystems
Flavonoids, a major component of plant root exudates, play a crucial role in mediating plant-microbe interactions. However, the mechanisms by which flavonoids are perceived and trigger downstream signaling events in microbes remain largely unknown.
