Persisters refer to genetically drug susceptible quiescent (non-growing or slow growing)
bacteria that survive in stress environments such as antibiotic exposure, acidic and …

Marine biofilms are ubiquitous in the marine environment. These complex microbial
communities rapidly respond to environmental changes and encompass hugely diverse …

How bacterial chemotaxis is performed is much better understood than why. Traditionally,
chemotaxis has been understood as a foraging strategy by which bacteria enhance their …

Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell chemical communication that relies on
the production, detection and response to extracellular signalling molecules called …

Microbial consortia have been used in biotechnology processes, including fermentation,
waste treatment, and agriculture, for millennia. Today, synthetic biologists are increasingly …

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

Natural products have served as powerful therapeutics against pathogenic bacteria since
the golden age of antibiotics of the mid-20th century. However, the increasing frequency of …

While interactions between roots and microorganisms have been intensively studied, we
know little about interactions among root‐associated microbes. We used random matrix …

Our ability to generate bacterial strains with unique and increasingly complex functions has
rapidly expanded in recent times. The capacity for DNA synthesis is increasing and costing …

Inhibition of quorum sensing (QS) is considered as an effective strategy in combatting biofilm-
associated bacterial infections. However, the application of quorum sensing inhibitors (QSI) …
