A negative regulator that controls the activation threshold for quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been identified, according to a new report from Richard Siehnel, Pradeep Singh and ...

Finally, biofilm-forming bacteria use chemical communication, called quorum sensing, to coordinate their metabolism (Camilli and Bassler 2006). Bacteria release chemical signals that are sensed by ...

Of particular interest is quorum sensing, a form of bacterial communication known to coordinate gene expression in density-dependent bacteria. The importance of understanding the symbiotic ...

Tanya Schneider's research interests broadly include the biosynthesis and molecular recognition of natural products, with a current focus on antibiotics and bacterial quorum sensing molecules. Her ...

We investigate 1. The role of quorum sensing regulators in the osmotic stress tolerance response 2. The role of the organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in Vibrio fitness and ...

Prof. Taylor’s research areas of interest include chemical biology, biochemistry, and antimicrobial drug discovery targeting the mechanisms of bacterial cell-to-cell communication, called quorum ...

Pei is working on a way to “put earplugs” in the algae so that the bacteria cannot communicate with each other to produce toxins. “The proposed research focuses on quorum sensing, the general mode of ...

the bacterial enzyme can control levels of other lipid-containing signaling molecules, including neurotransmitters involved in communications between neurons, and so-called quorum-sensing ...

Analysis of gut microbiomes reveals co-colonization patterns and potential therapeutic targets against Enterobacteriaceae, ...
