The establishment and persistence of bacterial biofilms underpins many chronic infections and industrial fouling problems. Within these surface-attached communities, cells communicate via quorum ...
Quorum sensing (QS) is a universal mechanism by which bacteria coordinate collective behaviours, including the expression of virulence factors and the formation of biofilms, in response to changes in ...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is notorious for its role in food spoilage and infections, posing a significant threat to both food safety and human health. Traditionally, antimicrobial agents have been the go ...
A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have challenged the widely held assumption in infectious disease research that blocking ...
Quorum sensing and quenching: A microbial dial for carbon-neutral wastewater treatment. This schematic summarizes how quorum sensing (QS) and quorum quenching (QQ) control greenhouse gas emissions ...
Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, these signals can only be detected by looking at the cells under a microscope ...
