Simple Summary Microorganisms like bacteria, archaea, fungi, microalgae, and viruses
mostly form complex interactive networks within the ecosystem rather than existing as single …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread intercellular form of communication to coordinate
physiological processes and cooperative activities of bacteria at the population level, and it …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of cell–cell communication for bacteria such as E. coli
and Salmonella that cause foodborne diseases, with the production, release, and detection …

Infectious diseases can be difficult to cure, especially if the pathogen forms a biofilm. After
decades of extensive research into the morphology, physiology and genomics of biofilm …

Bacteria respond to different small molecules that are produced by other neighboring
bacteria. These molecules, called autoinducers, are classified as intraspecies (ie …

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157: H7, a gram-negative bacteria identified
as a foodborne pathogen causing severe disease is of great concern worldwide. The …

Two reporter strains were established to identify novel biomolecules interfering with
bacterial communication (quorum sensing [QS]). The basic design of these Escherichia coli …

Translation of the genome into functional proteins is critical for cellular life. Accurate protein
synthesis relies on proper decoding of mRNAs by the ribosome using aminoacyl-tRNAs …

Although microbes primarily are single-cell organisms, they are not isolated individuals.
Microbes use various means to communicate with one another. Based on the …
