During the last two decades the world has experienced an abrupt change in climate. Both
natural and artificial factors are climate change drivers, although the effect of natural factors …

The microbial community is an important part of the natural ecosystem, and the quorum
sensing system is a momentous communication tool for the microbial community to connect …

The plant holobiont is a complex entity composed of the plant and the organisms that live in
and on it including its microbiota. The plant microbiota includes, among other …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a signaling mechanism for cell-to-cell communication between
bacteria, fungi, and even eukaryotic hosts such as plant and animal cells. Bacteria in real life …

Many bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) to regulate virulence factor production in response
to changes in population density. QS is mediated through the production, secretion, and …

Many proteobacteria possess LuxR solos which are quorum sensing LuxR-type regulators
that are not paired with a cognate LuxI-type synthase. LuxR solos have been implicated in …

Plant–microbe symbioses span a continuum from pathogenic to mutualistic, with functional
consequences for both organisms in the symbiosis. In order to increase sustainable food …

Quorum sensing (QS) is widely accepted as a procedure that bacteria use to converse.
However, prevailing thinking places acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) at the forefront of this …

Bacteria rely on chemical communication to sense the environment and to retrieve
information on their population densities. Accordingly, a vast repertoire of molecules is …

Endophytes live inside plants and are often beneficial. Kosakonia is a novel bacterial genus
that includes many diazotrophic plant-associated isolates. Plant–bacteria studies on two rice …
