What Is Quorum Sensing? Individual bacteria use quorum sensing to detect and respond to changes in cell density as a coordinated group. For example, the first reported evidence of quorum sensing was ...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process used by bacteria to coordinate their behavior based on population density. This mechanism plays a crucial role in the formation of biofilms ...

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 ...

Targeting virulence factors such as quorum sensing (QS), the system responsible for group behaviours in bacteria, is a strategy that reduces the selective pressure on the bacteria to survive and thus ...

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 ...

Michael Savka, professor in the Thomas H. Gosnell School of Life Sciences, published a paper in PeerJ on quorum-sensing signals in Novosphingobium sp. Rr2-17, with contributions from RIT alumni 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 ...

We conduct antimicrobial discovery research towards mitigating microbial contamination of jet fuel and study bacterial biofilms, solvent resistance mechanisms such as efflux pumps, trace element ...
