Journal ArticleDOI
D-amino acids trigger biofilm disassembly.
TL;DR: It is found that d-amino acids found in conditioned medium from mature biofilms of Bacillus subtilis prevent biofilm formation and trigger existing biofilm disassembly, and may be a widespread signal for bio Film disassembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amyloid fibers provide structural integrity to Bacillus subtilis biofilms.
TL;DR: Biochemical analyses, in combination with the use of specific dyes and microscopic analyses, indicate that TasA forms amyloid fibers that bind cells together in the biofilm.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The data have allowed us to conclude that the iturin and fengycin families of lipopeptides have a major role in the antagonism of B. subtilis toward P. fusca.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant protection and growth stimulation by microorganisms: biotechnological applications of Bacilli in agriculture
TL;DR: Biological control, that is, the use of natural antagonists to combat pests or plant diseases has emerged as a promising alternative to chemical pesticides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics as Signal Molecules
TL;DR: Several examples of the dual functions of some well-known antibiotics, including those that when used at sub-inhibitory concentrations (SIC) promote an interesting response in bacterial populations and the ecological implications of such varied responses are discussed.
