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

Proteus mirabilis is well known in clinical laboratories and microbiology survey courses as
the species that swarms across agar surfaces, overtaking any other species present in the …

2, 5-Diketopiperazines (2, 5-DKPs) are cyclodipeptides obtained by the condensation of two
α-amino acids. They not only abound in nature but are often produced as degradation …

Cell-to-cell communication is a major process that allows bacteria to sense and coordinately
react to the fluctuating conditions of the surrounding environment. In several pathogens, this …

Numerous species of bacteria employ a mechanism of intercellular communication known
as quorum sensing. This signaling process allows the cells comprising a bacterial colony to …

Biofilm formation significantly contributes to microbial survival in hostile environments and it
is currently considered a key virulence factor for pathogens responsible for serious chronic …

Quorum sensing exists widely in all kinds of microorganisms and is a communication
channel for microorganisms. Many bacterial processes, including virulence factor …

Covering: 2004 to June 2010 In this review, antifouling metabolites of marine bacteria and
