Bacillus subtilis is one of the most widely studied plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria. It is
able to promote plant growth as well as control plant pathogens through diverse …

The bacterial communities in a wide range of environmental niches sense and respond to
numerous external stimuli for their survival. Primarily, a source they require to follow up this …

Quorum sensing (QS), a microbial cell-to-cell communication process, dynamically regulates
a variety of metabolism and physiological activities. In this review, we provide an update on …

Although prokaryotes ordinarily undergo binary fission to produce two identical daughter
cells, some are able to undergo alternative developmental pathways that produce daughter …

BL13-XALOC is currently the only macromolecular crystallography beamline at the 3 GeV
ALBA synchrotron near Barcelona, Spain. The optics design is based on an in-vacuum …

Bacteria use diffusible chemical messengers, termed pheromones, to coordinate gene
expression and behavior among cells in a community by a process known as quorum …

Within Gram-positive bacteria, the expression of target genes is controlled at the population
level via signaling peptides, also known as pheromones. Pheromones control a wide range …

Bacillus velezensis 83 was isolated from mango tree phyllosphere of orchards located in El
Rosario, Sinaloa, México. The assessment of this strain as BCA (biological control agent), as …

Phages can use a small-molecule communication arbitrium system to coordinate lysis–
lysogeny decisions, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here we determined …

Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic pathogen that forms spores which promote survival in
the environment and transmission to new hosts. The regulatory pathways by which C …
