A vast microbial community inhabits in the rhizosphere, among which, specialized bacteria
known as Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) confer benefits to host plants …

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 …

Autoinduction (AI), the response to self-produced chemical signals, is widespread in the
bacterial world. This process controls vastly different target functions, such as luminescence …

Background Biofilms are microbial communities encased in a layer of extracellular polymeric
substances (EPS). The EPS matrix provides several functional purposes for the biofilm, such …

This review article focuses on quenching of bacterial quorum sensing (QS) signaling by
macromolecules. Although various research efforts have led to the design and identification …

Bacteria are able to sense their population's density through a cell–cell communication
system, termed 'quorum sensing'(QS). This system regulates gene expression in response to …

Many environmental and interactive important traits of bacteria, such as antibiotic,
siderophore or exoenzyme (like cellulose, pectinase) production, virulence factors of …

Mathematical biology is in the moment a prosperous and exciting field. New experimental
methods require more and refined models. While experimental data of traditional …

Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) refers to the process of cell-to-cell bacterial communication
enabled through the production and sensing of the local concentration of small molecules …

Background Cell dispersal (or detachment) is part of the developmental cycle of microbial
biofilms. It can be externally or internally induced, and manifests itself in discrete sloughing …
