Quorum sensing in bacteria.
Quorum sensing is the regulation of gene expression in response to fluctuations in cell-population density. Quorum sensing bacteria produce and release chemical signal molecules called autoinducers that increase in concentration as a function of cell density. The detection of a minimal threshold stimulatory concentration of an autoinducer leads to an alteration in gene expression. Gram-positive...
متن کاملN-Acyl Homoserine Lactone-Mediated Quorum Sensing with Special Reference to Use of Quorum Quenching Bacteria in Membrane Biofouling Control
Membrane biofouling remains a severe problem to be addressed in wastewater treatment systems affecting reactor performance and economy. The finding that many wastewater bacteria rely on N-acyl homoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing to synchronize their activities essential for biofilm formations; the quenching bacterial quorum sensing suggests a promising approach for control of membrane bi...
متن کاملAntimicrobial profile of essential oils extracted from wild versus cultivated Origanum ehrenberjii against enteric bacteria.
INTRODUCTION The role of Origanum ehrenberjii against bacteria that cause enteric diseases is well known. Salmonella and Enterococcus cause high rates of enteric infections around the world. The aim of this study was to extract essential oils from cultivated and naturally growing O. ehrenberjii, compare the chemical profiles of the extracts and estimate their antimicrobial efficacy against ente...
متن کاملVisualizing Bacteria Quorum Sensing
Large populations of bacteria communicate by sending into the environment some specific signalling molecules. A bacterium will sense the population density by the concentration of the signalling molecule. This process, known as “quorum sensing”, is used in this paper to show the emergent behaviour of a bacterium colony in various circumstances. The biochemistry associated with quorum sensing ha...
متن کاملQuorum sensing: cell-to-cell communication in bacteria.
Bacteria communicate with one another using chemical signal molecules. As in higher organisms, the information supplied by these molecules is critical for synchronizing the activities of large groups of cells. In bacteria, chemical communication involves producing, releasing, detecting, and responding to small hormone-like molecules termed autoinducers . This process, termed quorum sensing, all...
