Biofouling of Water Treatment Membranes: A Review of the Underlying Causes, Monitoring Techniques and Control Measures (2012, background): “universal for inter-species communication for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [144].”
Look who's talking: communication and quorum sensing in the bacterial world (2007, background): “Indeed, Yim et al. (2006) have argued that that the majority of low-molecular-weight organic compounds made and secreted by microbes are likely to function as cell-signalling molecules which modulate the metabolic activities of natural microbial communities.”
Quorum sensing controls biofilm formation in Vibrio cholerae (2003, positive): “This theory has been bolstered by the identification of luxS and AI-2 in over 40 species of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and AI-2dependent gene regulation in many of those organisms (Surette and Bassler, 1998; Surette et al ., 1999; Xavier and Bassler, 2003).”
Disruption of bacterial quorum sensing: an unexplored strategy to fight infections in aquaculture (2004, background): “Because AI-2 activity has been detected in many other species (Gram-negative as well as Gram-positive) and because AI-2 biosynthesis is closely linked to the methyl cycle, this type of quorum sensing is believed to be used for interspecies communication and might be involved in the detection of the ”
The First Microbial Colonizers of the Human Gut: Composition, Activities, and Health Implications of the Infant Gut Microbiota (2017, background): “, LuxS, which is involved in recycling S-adenosylhomocysteine (416).”
Autoinducer 2 Controls Biofilm Formation in Escherichia coli through a Novel Motility Quorum-Sensing Regulator (MqsR, B3022) (2006, background): “To confirm that AI-2 was the cause of the increase in biofilm formation, we measured biofilm stimulation with the isogenic MG1655 lsrK mutant because this mutation dramatically impairs the AI-2 uptake compared with other mutations in the lsr system (49, 52).”
Bacterial Quorum Sensing and Food Industry (2011, background): “LuxS/AI-2 systems have been discovered in a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria leading to the suggestion that the AI-2 system is used for cross-species signaling by organisms living in mixed-species communities such as biofilms (Xavier and Bassler 2003).”
Quorum sensing: cell-to-cell communication in bacteria. (2005, background): “Together, these findings have led to the hypothesis that bacteria use AI-2 to communicate between species (reviewed in Xavier & Bassler 2003).”
Biofilm formation and the food industry, a focus on the bacterial outer surface (2010, background): “Additional families of bacterial signalling molecules have been identified such as Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (Schauder and Bassler 2001; Xavier and Bassler 2003).”
Listeria: A foodborne pathogen that knows how to survive. (2007, background): “A review on biofilm formation and quorum sensing discusses the two social behaviors of microorganisms and sheds some light on the relationship between the two phenomena (Parsek and Greenberg, 2005).(Xavier and Bassler 2003).”
Communication in bacteria: an ecological and evolutionary perspective (2006, background): “The third cell?cell-signalling system in bacteria is generally referred to as the LuxS/AI-2 pathwa”
Necrotic enteritis; a continuing challenge for the poultry industry (2006, background): “There is also a stoichiometric relationship between the metabolic precursor SAM, and AI-2 levels.”
The application of biofilm science to the study and control of chronic bacterial infections. (2003, background): “The AHL signals of Gram-negative bacteria and the two-component peptide signals of Gram-positive bacteria (32) have been shown to affect biofilm formation, and the newly discovered autoinducer II signal (33) appears to have a similar effect.”
