The rhizosphere is a complex ecosystem around plant roots that comprises an integrated
network of plant roots, the microbiome and soil. Wide spread communication between …

All types of building materials are rapidly colonized by microorganisms, initially through an
invisible and then later a visible biofilm that leads to their biodeterioration. Over centuries …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a density-dependent mechanism enabling bacteria to coordinate
their actions via the release of small diffusible molecules named autoinducers (AIs). Vibrio …

Bacterial populations communicate using quorum‐sensing (QS) molecules and switch on
QS regulation to engage in coordinated behaviour such as biofilm formation or virulence …

Quorum sensing (QS) regulates hundreds of genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and many
of which encode extracellular virulence factors. Lactobacillus as a probiotic has been …

The primary challenge of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing
bacteria (AOB) surviving in wetlands are the rapid and unpredictable environmental …

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles (N-heterocycles) are essential in drug discovery, with a
majority of best-selling small-molecule drugs containing at least one N-heterocycle. Various …

The evolution of multicellularity has not only enabled the specialization of eukaryote cell
types, but also provided stable confined habitats for microbes to engage in symbiotic …

Vibrio harveyi is a marine luminous pathogen, which causes biofilm‐mediated infections,
pressures the search for an innovative alternate approach to strive against vibriosis in …

In this study, we sequenced and characterized the genome of H. alvei to grasp the genetic
basis of its physiological activities, including QS, metabolism, virulence and antibiotic …
