Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread process in bacteria that employs autoinducing
chemical signals to coordinate diverse, often cooperative activities such as …

Many bacteria use a cell-cell communication system called quorum sensing to coordinate
population density-dependent changes in behavior. Quorum sensing involves production of …

We have developed a simple and flexible mutation detection technology for the discovery
and mapping of both known and unknown mutations. This technology is based on a new …

The consequences of O-acetylated alginate-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms in
the lungs of chronically infected cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are tolerance to both antibiotic …

We have investigated the ability of single‐strand specific (sss) nucleases from different
sources to cleave single base pair mismatches in heteroduplex DNA templates used for …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have gained wide use in humans and model
species and are becoming the marker of choice for applications in other species …

In the post‐genomic sequencing era, an expanding portfolio of genomic technologies has
been applied to the study of gene function. Reverse genetics approaches that provide …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, N-acylhomoserine lactone signals regulate the expression of
several hundreds of genes, via the transcriptional regulator LasR and, in part, also via the …

Two hypotheses, termed quorum sensing (QS) and diffusion sensing (DS), have been
suggested as competing explanations for why bacterial cells use the local concentration of …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cell–cell communication based on N-acyl-homoserine lactone
(AHL) signal molecules (termed quorum sensing) is known to control the production of …
