From Circuits to Symphonies: A Systems‐Engineering Blueprint for Multimicrobial Synthetic Biology
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Engineering synthetic microbial consortia requires moving beyond intracellular genetic circuits toward coordinated multicellular design. A modular systems‐engineering framework is presented that integrates communication, temporal coordination, ecological structuring, and predictive modeling to guide application‐dependent consortium design ...

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Quorum-quenching limits quorum-sensing exploitation by signal-negative invaders [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractSome bacteria produce and perceive quorum-sensing (QS) signals that coordinate several behaviours, including the costly processes that are exoenzyme production and plasmid transfer. In the case of plasmid transfer, the emergence of QS signal-altered invaders and their policing are poorly documented.

Purification and Structural Analysis of QS-inhibiting Compounds from Staphylococcus delphini
Bio-Protocol, 2014 The knowledge that many pathogens rely on cell-to-cell communication mechanisms known as quorum sensing, opens a new disease control strategy: quorum quenching.

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Engineering quorum quenching enzymes: progress and perspectives [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2019 Abstract Quorum sensing is a key contributor to the virulence of many important plant, animal and human pathogens. The disruption of this signalling—a process referred to as ‘quorum quenching’—is a promising new approach for controlling microbial pathogens.

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...
