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

Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the capacity of bacteria to monitor their population density
and regulate gene expression accordingly: the QS-regulated processes deal with …

Many bacteria use a cell-cell communication system called quorum sensing to coordinate
population density-dependent changes in behavior. Quorum sensing involves production of …

Introduction Numerous bacterial behaviors are regulated by a cell-density dependent
mechanism known as Quorum Sensing (QS). QS relies on communication between bacterial …

Quorum sensing (QS) signalling has been extensively studied in single species populations.
However, the ecological role of QS in complex, multi-species communities, particularly in the …

Filamentous bulking, which results from the overgrowth of filamentous microorganisms, is a
common issue that frequently disrupts the stable operation of activated sludge processes …

The continuing emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is a concern to human health
and highlights the urgent need for the development of alternative therapeutic strategies …

Quorum sensing is used by a large variety of bacteria to regulate gene expression in a cell‐
density‐dependent manner. Bacteria can synchronize population behavior using small …

Acinetobacter baumannii possesses a single divergent luxR/luxRI-type quorum-sensing
(QS) locus named abaR/abaI. This locus also contains a third gene located between abaR …

Many proteobacteria possess LuxR solos which are quorum sensing LuxR-type regulators
that are not paired with a cognate LuxI-type synthase. LuxR solos have been implicated in …
