Biofouling in industrial equipment: a look at quorum sensing and quorum quenching as anti-fouling strategies in membrane bioreactors

open access: yesEnvironmental Technology Reviews
One of the major techniques used in various industrial processes and separation techniques is membrane technology, among which membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are a key component. While the demand for membrane technology is rising, membrane fouling remains a

Irradiation‐Resistant Heterostructures Based on Monolayer MoS2

open access: yesphysica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 6, 20 March 2026.
Atomic vacancies can significantly affect monolayer molybdenum disulfide (1L‐MoS2) properties, but the effects of electron irradiation are still poorly understood. A significant resistance to 0.5 MeV electron irradiation was observed for 1L‐MoS2 exfoliated on gold or grown on SiO2.

Interference of Quorum Sensing by Delftia sp. VM4 Depends on the Activity of a Novel N-Acylhomoserine Lactone-Acylase. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Turf soil bacterial isolate Delftia sp. VM4 can degrade exogenous N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL), hence it effectively attenuates the virulence of bacterial soft rot pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp.

Incorporation of MoO3 Nanoparticles Into Polypropylene Fibers via Melt Spinning: Investigation of Mechanical, Thermal, and Chromic Properties

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 11, March 15, 2026.
Pure PP and PP/MoO 3 filaments produced by melt spinning. ABSTRACT Polypropylene (PP) composite fibers containing 0.10, 0.20, and 0.50 wt% molybdenum oxide (MoO 3 ) nanoparticles were produced via melt spinning. In the present study, the effect of this addition on the mechanical, thermal, and chromic properties of the fibers was investigated.

Engineering Soluble Human Paraoxonase 2 for Quorum Quenching [PDF]

open access: yesACS Chemical Biology, 2016
Many pathogenic bacteria utilize quorum sensing (QS) systems to regulate the expression of their virulence genes and promote the formation of biofilm, which renders pathogens with extreme resistance to conventional antibiotic treatments. As a novel approach for attenuating antibiotic resistance and in turn fighting chronic infections, enzymatic ...

Quinic Acid and Synthetic Derivatives in Medicinal Chemistry

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
Quinic acid and its derivatives are gaining recognition as versatile scaffolds in drug discovery. This review explores their emerging roles in inflammation, infection, cancer, and metabolic disorders, highlighting recent advances that position them beyond chlorogenic acids as promising platforms for therapeutic innovation. Quinic acid (QA) is a natural
