Biofilms are structured and organized communities of microorganisms that represent one of
the most successful forms of life on Earth. Bacterial biofilms have been studied in great …

Quorum sensing (QS), a type of chemical communication, allows bacteria to sense and
coordinate activities in natural biofilm communities using N-acyl homoserine lactones …

Biofilms play an important role in the antibiotic drug resistance, which is threatening public
health globally. Almost, all microbes mimic multicellular lifestyle to form biofilm by …

All living cells sense and respond to changes in external or internal conditions. Without that
cognitive capacity, they could not obtain nutrition essential for growth, survive inevitable …

Bacteria play a crucial role in marine biogeochemistry by releasing, consuming and
transforming organic matter. Far from being isolated entities, bacteria are involved in …

LuxI and LuxR are key factors that drive quorum sensing (QS) in bacteria through secretion
and perception of the signaling molecules eg N-Acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). The role …

Although adding long-term acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) over one month was highly
instructive for the development of an AHL-based anaerobic granulation strategy, the role of …

A universal biochemical signal for bacterial cell–cell communication could facilitate
programming dynamic responses in diverse bacterial consortia. However, the classical …

The vital cellular functions in Gram-positive bacteria are controlled by signaling molecules
known as quorum sensing peptides (QSPs), considered promising therapeutic interventions …

Axenic microbial applications in the open environment are unrealistic and may not be
always practically viable. Therefore, it is important to use mixed microbial cultures and their …
