With the rapid growth of the aquaculture production since the 1980s, there has been a
concomitant increase in disease outbreaks. The injudicious and/or incorrect use of …

Diverse microorganisms are able to grow on food matrixes and along food industry
infrastructures. This growth may give rise to biofilms. This review summarizes, on the one …

This Review highlights how we can build upon the relatively new and rapidly developing
field of research into bacterial quorum sensing (QS). We now have a depth of knowledge …

Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication system that exists widely in the microbiome
and is related to cell density. The high-density colony population can generate a sufficient …

The widespread use of antibiotics in the past 80 years has saved millions of human lives,
facilitated technological progress and killed incalculable numbers of microbes, both …

The aerial portion of a plant, namely the leaf, is inhabited by pathogenic and non-pathogenic
microbes. The leaf's physical and chemical properties, combined with fluctuating and often …

The mechanisms through which microbes communicate using signal molecules has inspired
a great deal of research. Microbes use this exchange of information, known as quorum …

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 …

The rhizosphere is the interface between plant roots and soil where interactions among a
myriad of microorganisms and invertebrates affect biogeochemical cycling, plant growth and …

Plants and microbes coexist or compete for survival and their cohesive interactions play a
vital role in adapting to metalliferous environments, and can thus be explored to improve …
