An Analysis of the Tsr-LsrB Interaction During Autoinducer-2 Chemotaxis In Escherichia coli
(2017-07-31)Escherichia coli senses a variety of chemoeffectors. The Tsr chemoreceptor is known to mediate attractant response to serine. Previously, serine was the only attractant described for Tsr. Recent work suggests Tsr senses ... -
Autoinducer 2-based quorum sensing response of Escherichia coli to sub-therapeutic tetracycline exposure
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is a quorum sensing signal employed by bacteria to coordinate their response to environmental stresses. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between presence of AI-2 molecules, ... -
Citrus Bioactive Compounds: Isolation, Characterization and Modulation of Bacterial Intercellular Communication and Pathogenicity
(2012-07-16)The secondary metabolites of citrus such as limonoids and flavonoids constitute an important part of human diet. The present work was undertaken to elucidate the effect of citrus limonoids and flavonoids on the bacterial ... -
Effect of Quorum Sensing by Staphylococcus epidermidis on the Attraction Response by Female Adult Yellow Fever Mosquito, Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus)(Diptera: Culicidae) to a Blood-feeding Source
(2014-10-01)Aedes aegypti, the principle vector of yellow fever, is responsible for more than 30,000 deaths annually. Compounds like carbon dioxide, amino acids, fatty acids and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been widely ... -
Regulation and Ecological Roles of Phenazine Biosynthesis in the Biological Control Strain Pseudomonas Chlororaphis 30-84
(2016-05-06)Pseudomonas chlororaphis 30-84 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium that was selected for its ability to control plant disease. Disease suppression by 30-84 is the result of production of phenazines, which both inhibit ... -
Whole-Genome Sequencing, Quorum Sensing, and Biofilm Formation of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius
(2019-08-28)Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a major opportunistic canine pathogen that has been associated with an increasing number of human infections. As an opportunist, S. pseudintermedius causes a wide range of infections, ...
