Interference of bacterial cell-to-cell communication: A new concept of antimicrobial chemotherapy breaks antibiotic

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Bacteria use a cell-to-cell communication activity termed Quorum sensing to coordinate group behaviors in a cell-density dependent manner. Quorum sensing influences the expression profile of diverse genes, including antibiotic tolerance and virulence ...

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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
