Bacteriophage (phage) and their host bacteria coevolve with each other over time. Quorum sensing (QS) systems play an important role in the interaction between bacteria and phage. In this review paper, we summarized the function of QS systems in bacterial biofilm formation, phage adsorption, lysis-lysogeny conversion of phage, coevolution of bacteria and phage, and information exchanges in phage, which may provide reference to future research on alternative control strategies for antibiotic-resistant and biofilm-forming pathogens by phage. KEY POINTS: • Quorum sensing (QS) systems influence bacteria-phage interaction. • QS systems cause phage adsorption and evolution and lysis-lysogeny conversion. • QS systems participate in biofilm formation and co-evolution with phage of bacteria.

The biosynthesis of mupirocin, a clinically significant antibiotic produced by sp. NCIMB 10586, is activated by the -acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) MupR/I quorum sensing (QS) system. However, to date, limited research has focused on the influence of global regulators such as the GacS/A two-component system (TCS) on the MupR/I QS system or mupirocin biosynthesis.

is widely recognized for its probiotic benefits and has been widely used in food production. While biofilms are typically associated with pathogenic bacteria, they also served as a self-protective mechanism formed by microorganisms in an adverse environments. In recent years, relevant studies have revealed the excellent characteristics of biofilms, offering new insights into their potential applications in the food industry.

We investigated the metabolome of the iron- and sulfur-oxidizing, extremely thermoacidophilic archaeon grown on mineral pyrite (FeS). The extraction of organic materials from these microorganisms is a major challenge because of the tight contact and interaction between cells and mineral materials. Therefore, we applied an improved protocol to break the microbial cells and separate their organic constituents from the mineral surface, to extract lipophilic compounds through liquid-liquid extraction, and performed metabolomics analyses using MALDI-TOF MS and UHPLC-UHR-Q/TOF.

Introduction: The free exopolysaccharide (f-EPS) produced by is a natural texture modifier and has a variety of prebiotic activities. Our previous studies showed f-EPS production from 937 was increased 2-fold in the presence of 15 mM of glutamate, isoleucine, and histidine in the chemically defined medium.
Methods: In this study, we used transcriptomics and qPCR to further explore the specific mechanism of the enhanced effect of 3 amino acids on the f-EPS biosynthesis of 937.
