In the present review, we describe and compare the molecular mechanisms that are
involved in the regulation of biofilm formation by P seudomonas putida, P seudomonas …

Bacterial cells can produce and sense signal molecules, allowing the whole population to
initiate a concerted action once a critical concentration (corresponding to a particular …

Burkholderia bacteria are multifaceted organisms that are ecologically and metabolically
diverse. The Burkholderia genus has gained prominence because it includes human …

Covering: up to 2009 This review describes the chemistry of the bacterial biofilms including
the chemistry of their constituents and signalling compounds that mediate or inhibit the …

Burkholderia cepacia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa often co-exist as mixed biofilms in the
lungs of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). Here, the isolation of random mini-Tn 5 …

A Gram-negative, non-sporulating, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, with a single polar
flagellum, designated strain PsJNT, was isolated from surface-sterilized onion roots. This …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia are capable of forming mixed biofilms
in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. Both bacteria employ quorum-sensing systems, which …

Work over the past few years has provided evidence that quorum sensing is a generic
regulatory mechanism that allows bacteria to launch a unified, coordinated response in a …

Acyl-homoserine lactones are small neutral lipid molecules that bacteria in the
Proteobacteria group use to sense and signal their cell density. This signaling process …

Many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria communicate using small diffusible signal
molecules called autoinducers. This process, known as quorum sensing (QS), links cell …
