Microbial biodiversity includes biotic and abiotic components that support all life forms by
adapting to environmental conditions. Climate change, pollution, human activity, and natural …

Many proteobacteria possess LuxR solos which are quorum sensing LuxR-type regulators
that are not paired with a cognate LuxI-type synthase. LuxR solos have been implicated in …

Bacteria play a crucial role in marine biogeochemistry by releasing, consuming and
transforming organic matter. Far from being isolated entities, bacteria are involved in …

Microbial biofilm formation on implantable devices causes chronic infections that cannot be
treated with existing antimicrobials. Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) have recently …

Many bacterial species communicate and cooperate with kin using a form of cell-cell
signaling called quorum sensing. Sensitivity and selectivity are fundamental properties of …

Programmable intercellular signaling using components of naturally occurring quorum
sensing can allow for coordinated functions to be engineered in microbial consortia. LuxR …

The rapid increase of '-omics' data warrants the reconsideration of experimental strategies to
investigate general protein function. Studying individual members of a protein family is likely …

Many types of bacteria engage in complex collective behaviors, often controlled by a form of
cell‐cell communication mediated by diffusible signal molecules called quorum sensing …

Cytochrome c is a small haem-containing protein that as an essential role in the electron
transport chain as an electron carrier. Cytochrome c also plays a fundamental role in the …

Les systèmes de «Quorum Sensing»(QSSs) sont des systèmes génétiques permettant la
communication entre cellules ou entre bactériophages. Cette communication est réalisée …
