Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 When the Hawaiian bobtail squid rises from the sand each evening to hunt, it swims cloaked from detection by predators and prey because it casts no moonlight shadow, a trick it owes to compartments full of glowing bacteria on its underside. It tunes these mini-floodlights to the right intensity using light sensors on its back, adjusting a shutter on ...

Multi-functional approach in the design of smart surfaces to mitigate bacterial infections: a review
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Advancements in biomedical devices are ingenious and indispensable in health care to save millions of lives. However, microbial contamination paves the way for biofilm colonisation on medical devices leading to device-associated infections with high ...

Quorum-Sensing Inhibition by Gram-Positive Bacteria
Microorganisms, 2022 The modern paradigm assumes that interspecies communication of microorganisms occurs through precise regulatory mechanisms. In particular, antagonism between bacteria or bacteria and fungi can be achieved by direct destruction of the targeted cells ...

Quorum sensing as a mechanism to harness the wisdom of the crowds
bioRxiv, 2022 Bacteria release and sense small molecules called autoinducers (AIs) in a process known as ‘quorum sensing’ (QS). The prevailing interpretation of QS is that by sensing AI concentrations, bacteria estimate population density to regulate the expression of
