Ecological feedback in quorum-sensing microbial populations can induce heterogeneous production of autoinducers
Autoinducers are small signaling molecules that mediate intercellular communication in microbial populations and trigger coordinated gene expression via 'quorum sensing'. Elucidating the mechanisms that control autoinducer production is, thus, pertinent to understanding collective microbial behavior, such as virulence and bioluminescence. Recent experiments have shown a heterogeneous promoter a...
متن کاملQuorum-sensing autoinducers resuscitate dormant Vibrio cholerae in environmental water samples.
Cholera epidemics have long been known to spread through water contaminated with human fecal material containing the toxigenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae. However, detection of V. cholerae in water is complicated by the existence of a dormant state in which the organism remains viable, but resists cultivation on routine bacteriological media. Growth in the mammalian intestine has been reported t...
متن کاملQuorum Sensing in Microbial Virulence
Cell-to cell communication occurs via a signaling pathway referred to as quorum sensing. There are four main types of these systems according to the chemical nature of signal molecules used by microorganisms to elicit expression of target genes in response to environmental stimuli or need of microbial communities. Type I system acts by using acyl homoserine lactones as signals to trigger the ex...

عصر روشنگری زمان شکل گیری ایده های مدرن تربیتی- آموزشی بود اما تاکید بیش از اندازه ی دوشاخه مهم فلسفی زمان یعنی عقل گرایی و حس گرایی بر دقت و وضوح، انسان عصر روشنگری را نسبت به دیگر تواناییهایش نابینا کرده و موجب به وجود آمدن افرادی تک بعدی شد که افتخارعقلانیتشان، تاکید شان بر تجربه فردی، به مبارزه طلبیدن منطق نیاکانشان وافسون زدایی شان از دنیا وتمام آنچه با حواس پنجگانه قابل درک نبوده و یا در ...
Quorum Sensing Activity in Pandoraea pnomenusa RB38
Strain RB38 was recovered from a former dumping area in Malaysia. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and genomic analysis identified strain RB-38 as Pandoraea pnomenusa. Various biosensors confirmed its quorum sensing properties. High resolution triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently used to characterize the N-acyl homoserine lactone production profile of P...
