The emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to the search for alternate
antimicrobial treatment strategies. Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) for efficient penetration …

The mechanisms through which microbes communicate using signal molecules has inspired
a great deal of research. Microbes use this exchange of information, known as quorum …

Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the capacity of bacteria to monitor their population density
and regulate gene expression accordingly: the QS-regulated processes deal with …

The root exudate composition reflects the contradictory-concomitantly attractive and
repulsive-behaviour of plants towards soil microorganisms. Plants produce antimicrobial …

Cell-cell communication, or quorum sensing, is a widespread phenomenon in bacteria that
is used to coordinate gene expression among local populations. Its use by bacterial …

The development of biochar has triggered a hot-spot in various research fields including
agriculture, energy, environment, and materials. Biochar-based materials provide a novel …

Clinically significant antibiotic resistance has evolved against virtually every antibiotic
deployed. Yet the development of new classes of antibiotics has lagged far behind our …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process between cells, in which bacteria secrete
and sense the specific chemicals, and regulate gene expression in response to population …

Despite the efforts that bioengineers have exerted in designing and constructing biological
processes that function according to a predetermined set of rules, their operation remains …

Bacteria employ sophisticated cell-to-cell communication or 'quorum sensing'(QS) systems
for promoting collective behaviours that depend on the actions of one or more chemically …
