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 ...

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 ...

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
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.

Examining the effect of temperature on steam oxidized silicon bond coats
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.

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