Importance of N-Acyl-Homoserine Lactone-Based Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching in Pathogen Control and Plant Growth Promotion

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
The biological control of plant pathogens is linked to the composition and activity of the plant microbiome. Plant-associated microbiomes co-evolved with land plants, leading to plant holobionts with plant-beneficial microbes but also with plant ...

All‐in‐one optical microfiber with an interface for MRSA in biofilms: Integrating rapid quantitative analysis and synergistic antimicrobial therapy

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Aiming at the management of MRSA biofilms, an all‐in‐one optical microfiber that integrated rapid quantitative analysis with synergistic antimicrobial therapy is developed. The prepared interfacial‐functionalized optical microfiber demonstrates the ability to detect MRSA concentrations in infection sites, enhance therapeutic efficacy, and assess ...

Synergistic effects of annealing heat treatment and lignocellulose fiber incorporation on the thermal, mechanical, and water absorption properties of poly(lactic acid)‐based biocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
The effect of molecular structure on the moisture absorption of PLA/cellulose biocomposites. Abstract This study investigates the effect of annealing heat treatment on polymer composites composed entirely of biodegradable components. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was used as the matrix material paired with three different types of commercial lignocellulose ...

Quorum sensing intervened bacterial signaling: Pursuit of its cognizance and repression

open access: yesJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2018
Bacteria communicate within a system by means of a density dependent mechanism known as quorum sensing which regulate the metabolic and behavioral activities of a bacterial community.

Quorum sensing in human gut and food microbiomes: Significance and potential for therapeutic targeting

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Human gut and food microbiomes interact during digestion. The outcome of these interactions influences the taxonomical composition and functional capacity of the resident human gut microbiome, with potential consequential impacts on health and disease ...

Examining the effect of temperature on steam oxidized silicon bond coats

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 108, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The SiO2 thermally grown oxide (TGO) is a life‐limiting factor for environmental barrier coatings (EBCs). EBCs in aeroengines face a variety of operating temperatures so the resulting effect on SiO2’s crystallinity and growth are necessary to better understand EBC failure.

Optimization of quorum quenching mediated bacterial attenuation of Solanum torvum root extract by response surface modelling through Box-Behnken approach

open access: yesJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2018
The present study was intended to optimize the quorum sensing inhibitory action of Solanum torvum root extract against Chromobacterium violaceum. Factors such as bacterial density, frequency of administration and concentration of extract were analysed ...

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.

Moving From Micro‐ to Nanofibers Within Melt Electrospinning

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 142, Issue 34, September 10, 2025.
Controlling flow rate enables production of more nanofibers. This can be achieved even when electrospinning from viscous melts in a simple two‐plate geometry. Finding the optimal melt thickness to reduce flow without lowering the number of fiber‐forming jets is key.

Quorum-Quenching Acylases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...
