Fungi from the genus Dekkera, also known as Brettanomyces, are significant contaminants in commercial beer and wine production, and when present unintentionally, these non-domesticated yeasts result in the development of undesirable sensorial characteristics, in part due to the production of volatile phenols and acetate esters. The persistence of Dekkera spp. in industrial manufacturing environments can be attributed to its strong bioadhesive properties, allowing it to attach to various surfaces and form biofilms, which often contribute to recurrent contaminations.

Article Synopsis
- Bacterial cooperation, especially between anammox and symbiotic bacteria, is crucial for efficient nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment, particularly under varying NH4-N concentrations.
- Research showed that anammox bacteria benefit from antioxidants like vitamin B6 produced by symbiotic bacteria, which help them cope with high NH4-N and fluctuating oxygen levels.
- When faced with increased NH4-N, anammox bacteria reduce amino acid supply to save metabolic energy, leading some bacterial generalists to specialize and improve microbial community stability and functionality.

Unlabelled: A common feature of -acyl-l-homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum-sensing (QS) systems is that the AHL signal is autoinducing. Once induced, a cell will further amplify the signal via a positive feedback loop. UPB0736 has two fully functional AHL QS systems, called PfsI/R and PfvI/R, which are inactive in a standard laboratory setting.

Electronic address:
Bacterial volatile compounds (BVCs) facilitate interspecies communication in socio-microbiology across physical barriers, thereby influencing interactions between diverse species. The impact of BVCs emitted from Pseudomonas on the biofilm formation characteristics of Listeria monocytogenes within the same ecological niche has been scarcely investigated under practical conditions of food processing. The objective of this study was to explore the motility and biofilm formation characteristics of L.

Bacterial communication plays an important role in coordinating microbial behaviors in a community. However, how bacterial communication organizes the entire community for anaerobes to cope with varied anaerobic-aerobic conditions remains unclear. We constructed a local bacterial communication gene (BCG) database comprising 19 BCG subtypes and 20279 protein sequences.
