Mathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2022 We extend a previously presented mesoscopic (i.e. colony scale) mathematical model of the reaction of bacterial biofilms to antibiotics. In that earlier model, exposure to antibiotics evokes two responses: inactivation as the antibiotics kill the ...

Quorum-Sensing Regulation of Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacteria
Microorganisms, 2020 Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication system that exists widely in the microbiome and is related to cell density. The high-density colony population can generate a sufficient number of small molecule signals, activate a variety of downstream ...

Modification and Assembly of a Versatile Lactonase for Bacterial Quorum Quenching [PDF]
Molecules, 2018 This work sets out to provide a self-assembled biopolymer capsule activated with a multi-functional enzyme for localized delivery. This enzyme, SsoPox, which is a lactonase and phosphotriesterase, provides a means of interrupting bacterial communication pathways that have been shown to mediate pathogenicity.

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the tripartite‐species model, Drosophila larvae stimulate lactate production through excreting digestion enzymes. S. marcescens population senses a cue of lactate and tends to diverge into virulent and reduced virulence subclusters with remarkable heterogeneity to metabolize carbon metabolism and counter colonization resistance, giving a fitness ...

Unlocking Lactonase Enzymes as Biocatalysts for the Deracemisation of Chiral γ‐Thiolactones
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 29, July 14, 2025.The application of lactonase enzymes as biocatalysts still remains underexplored. This study discloses the biocatalytic activity of two lactonases in the deracemisation of chiral C3‐substituted‐γ‐thiolactones. The biocatalyst GcL catalyses the enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) of C3‐amide‐thiolactones, while the rationally engineered biocatalyst N9 ...
