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 …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are present both outside of the cells and in the
interior of microbial aggregates, and account for a main component in microbial aggregates …

Excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has lead to the
emergence of multiple drug resistant strains. Most infectious diseases are caused by …

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 …

Introduction Numerous bacterial behaviors are regulated by a cell-density dependent
mechanism known as Quorum Sensing (QS). QS relies on communication between bacterial …

Cell-to-cell communication is a major process that allows bacteria to sense and coordinately
react to the fluctuating conditions of the surrounding environment. In several pathogens, this …

P450BM3 (CYP102A1), a fatty acid hydroxylase from Bacillus megaterium, has been
extensively studied over a period of almost forty years. The enzyme has been redesigned to …

Bacteria use cell-to-cell communication systems based on chemical signal molecules to
coordinate their behavior within the population. These quorum sensing systems are …

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 …

Cytochrome P450 enzymes primarily catalyze mixed-function oxidation reactions, plus some
reductions and rearrangements of oxygenated species, eg prostaglandins. Most of these …
