The oralome is the summary of the dynamic interactions orchestrated between the
ecological community of oral microorganisms (comprised of up to approximately 1000 …

Most swimming bacteria are capable of following gradients of nutrients, signaling molecules
and other environmental factors that affect bacterial physiology. This tactic behavior became …

Chronic and recurrent bacterial infections are frequently associated with the formation of
biofilms on biotic or abiotic materials that are composed of mono-or multi-species cultures of …

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 low efficiency and stability of anaerobic digestion (AD) has always hindered its wide
application. The accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) cause acidification and inhibition …

Bacteria use quorum sensing to orchestrate gene expression programmes that underlie
collective behaviours. Quorum sensing relies on the production, release, detection and …

The development of novel therapies to control diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant
pathogens is one of the major challenges we are currently facing. Many important plant …

Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is a cell‐to‐cell communication in which specific signals are
activated to coordinate pathogenic behaviors and help bacteria acclimatize to the …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are important starter, commensal, or pathogenic microorganisms.
The stress physiology of LAB has been studied in depth for over 2 decades, fueled mostly by …
