The Marine Bacterium Shewanella woodyi Produces C8-HSL to Regulate Bioluminescence
Quorum sensing (QS), a cell-to-cell communication system involved in the synchronization of bacterial behavior in a cell-density-dependent manner has been shown to control phenotypes such as luminescence, viru...

Annotation and quantification of N-acyl homoserine lactones implied in bacterial quorum sensing by supercritical-fluid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry
In recent years, use of supercritical-fluid chromatography (SFC) with CO2 as the mobile phase has been expanding in the research laboratory and industry since it is considered to be a green analytical method. Thi...

Open AccessSea anemone and clownfish microbiota diversity and variation during the initial steps of symbiosis
Clownfishes and sea anemones form an intriguing long-term association, but the mechanism underlying this symbiosis is not well understood. Since clownfishes seem to cover themselves with sea anemone mucus, we ...

Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching in the Phycosphere of Phytoplankton: a Case of Chemical Interactions in Ecology
The interactions between bacteria and phytoplankton regulate many important biogeochemical reactions in the marine environment, including those in the global carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles. At the microsc...

Influence of PAHs among other coastal environmental variables on total and PAH-degrading bacterial communities
We evaluated the relative impact of anthropogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among biogeochemical variables on total, metabolically active, and PAH bacterial communities in summer and winter in su...
