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

This paper briefly reviews research on the causative agents of blackleg and soft rot diseases
of potato, namely Pectobacterium and Dickeya species, and the disease syndrome …

The rhizosphere is a hot spot of microbial interactions as exudates released by plant roots
are a main food source for microorganisms and a driving force of their population density …

Biological control has received increasing interest in recent decades as one of the
alternatives to chemical pesticides in the field of plant disease control, especially after the …

The modern paradigm assumes that interspecies communication of microorganisms occurs
through precise regulatory mechanisms. In particular, antagonism between bacteria or …

Vibrio fischeri is a remarkable Gram-negative marine bacterium. First, it emits light when it
colonizes the fish or squid organs dedicated to this purpose. Second, it turns this light on …

Bacterial signalling known as quorum sensing (QS) relies on the synthesis of autoinducing
signals throughout growth; when a threshold concentration is reached, these signals interact …

In a polymicrobial community, while some bacteria are communicating with neighboring
cells (quorum sensing), others are interrupting the communication (quorum quenching), thus …

This work was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the
endophytic fungal strain Epicoccum nigrum ASU11 (Epi) to control potato blackleg caused …

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 …
