Quorum Sensing Controls Swarming Motility of Burkholderia glumae through Regulation of Rhamnolipids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Burkholderia glumae is a plant pathogenic bacterium that uses an acyl-homoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing system to regulate protein secretion, oxalate production and major virulence determinants such as toxoflavin and flagella. B.

Rhamnolipid Micellization and Adsorption Properties
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Biosurfactants are naturally occurring amphiphiles that are being actively pursued as alternatives to synthetic surfactants in cleaning, personal care, and cosmetic products. On the basis of their ability to mobilize and disperse hydrocarbons, biosurfactants are also involved in the bioremediation of oil spills.

Biophysical characterization of synthetic rhamnolipids [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2006 Synthetic rhamnolipids, derived from a natural diacylated glycolipid, RL‐2,214, produced by Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) plantarii, were analyzed biophysically. Changes in the chemical structures comprised variations in the length, the stereochemistry and numbers of the lipid chains, numbers of rhamnoses, and the occurrence of charged or neutral groups ...

Maintenance of Microbial Cooperation Mediated by Public Goods in Single- and Multiple-Trait Scenarios [PDF]
, 2017 Microbes often form densely populated communities, which favor competitive and cooperative interactions. Cooperation among bacteria often occurs through the production of metabolically costly molecules produced by certain individuals that become ...
