The AHL Quorum-Sensing System Negatively Regulates Growth and Autolysis in Lysobacter brunescens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Lysobacter species are emerging as novel sources of antibiotics, but the regulation of their physiological metabolism is still poorly understood. In this work, we extracted AHL (acyl-homoserine lactone) autoinducers, identified the structures of AHLs and

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Plant-Derived Natural Products as Sources of Anti-Quorum Sensing Compounds

Sensors, 2013
Quorum sensing is a system of stimuli and responses in relation to bacterial cell population density that regulates gene expression, including virulence determinants. Consequently, quorum sensing has been an attractive target for the development of novel

First reports on the relationship between the eggshell and bone mineralization in Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia embryos

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...

β-Sitosterol derived compound from onion husks non-polar fraction reduces quorum sensing controlled virulence and biofilm production

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2019
Quorum sensing is an important regulatory factor of P. aeruginosa virulence induction such as BF, motility, formations of proteases, pyocyanin, and some toxins. The aim of the current study is to detect the effect of the pet.ether extract from onion husk
