Predator–Microbe Dynamics Inform Strategies for Robust Synthetic Community Assembly

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
This Review introduces ecological principles of predator–prey interactions as a new dimension in SynCom design. By linking microbial defence traits, encounter dynamics, and adaptive buffering, it outlines a framework for constructing predator‐resistant synthetic communities with enhanced resilience, stability, and functional performance under natural ...

Effects of Lysozyme and Silver Anode Treatment on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Growth and Biofilm Formation in Raw Milk

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important spoilage‑associated and opportunistic pathogen in raw milk, producing heat‑stable enzymes and robust biofilms that resist conventional sanitation. The limitations of existing decontamination methods necessitate novel, nonthermal, and ecofriendly strategies.

Biofilm Formation and Spore‐Mediated Persistence of Clostridium perfringens in Meat and Poultry Processing Environments and Their Implications for Control Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) biofilms pose a persistent challenge in meat and poultry processing environments due to their structural resilience, spore‐mediated survival and toxin‐associated virulence. These biofilms readily develop on food‐contact surfaces under typical processing conditions including organic residue accumulation,

Characterization and Bioactivity of Nanovesicles Recovered From Industrial Cheesemaking Whey Wastewater

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Food‐derived nanovesicles (NVs), and particularly, those derived from milk, are considered promising nutraceutical candidates and potential carriers for drug delivery. Here, as an alternative to milk, we used a dairy byproduct as a source of NVs. Specifically, we isolated and characterized NVs from cheese whey wastewater (WWW) generated during

Isolation of a Novel Lytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phage Henu5 and Fitness Costs of Phage‐Driven Resistance

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study isolated and identified a novel lytic phage that infects Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Henu5 exhibited good physicochemical stability. Additionally, the phage‐resistant mutants showed fitness trade‐offs in growth, virulence and antibiotic susceptibility, along with in vivo fitness, which might direct future phage selection in clinical settings ...

Characterisation and In Planta Activity of Bacteriophages That Infect the Key Bacterial Species Associated With Acute Oak Decline

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
Phages that infect the oak pathogens Brenneria goodwinii and Gibbsiella quercinecans were isolated. The phages were able to effectively reduce bacterial populations of their respective hosts in vitro. However, when applied in planta, the phages did not reduce host populations and instead phages and bacteria co‐existed over time.

Engineering Pseudomonas protegens as a Targeted Antifungal‐Effector Delivery Chassis via Heterologous Type III Secretion System Reconstitution

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
A heterologous T3SS turns Pseudomonas protegens Pf‐5 into a programmable molecular syringe that delivers Bg9562 into Fusarium hyphae, suppresses fungal pathogens, enhances rhizosphere colonization and protects tomato plants from wilt. This modular platform offers a transferable strategy for next‐generation fungal biocontrol.

Species‐Specific Optimisation and Environmental Regulation of Biofilm Formation in Enterobacter cloacae: Inhibitory Role of Glucose in Biofilm Development

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that mild salinity stress (1%–2% NaCl) significantly enhances biofilm formation in Enterobacter cloacae. Using a standardised 96‐well microtiter plate assay, we optimised in vitro biofilm quantification and classification, providing a reproducible framework for studying environmental and clinical biofilm development mechanisms ...

Quorum sensing inhibitors: An overview

Biotechnology Advances, 2013
Excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has lead to the emergence of multiple drug resistant strains. Most infectious diseases are caused by bacteria which proliferate within quorum sensing (QS) mediated biofilms.

Quorum sensing inhibitors as Therapeutics: Bacterial biofilm inhibition

Bioorganic Chemistry, 2023
The overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has led to the development of multiple drug resistant strains. Biofilm is a complex microorganism aggregation defined by the presence of a dynamic, sticky, and protective extracellular matrix made of polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids.
