Journal ArticleDOI

Minimal information for studies of extracellular vesicles 2018 (MISEV2018) : a position statement of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and update of the MISEV2014 guidelines

Clotilde Théry, +417 more
TL;DR: The MISEV2018 guidelines include tables and outlines of suggested protocols and steps to follow to document specific EV-associated functional activities, and a checklist is provided with summaries of key points.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quorum sensing and Chromobacterium violaceum: exploitation of violacein production and inhibition for the detection of N-acylhomoserine lactones

TL;DR: The ability of CV026 to respond to a series of synthetic AHL and N-acylhomocysteine thiolactone (AHT) analogues is explored, greatly extending the ability to detect a wide spectrum of AHL signal molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Construction and analysis of luxCDABE-based plasmid sensors for investigating N-acyl homoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing

TL;DR: Plasmid reporter vectors have been constructed which respond to activation of LuxR and its homologues LasR and RhlR by N-acyl homoserine lactones by AHLs, allowing a comprehensive evaluation of quorum sensing signals from a test organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quorum sensing in Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas salmonicida: identification of the LuxRI homologs AhyRI and AsaRI and their cognate N-acylhomoserine lactone signal molecules.

TL;DR: Downstream of both ahyI and asaI is a gene with close homology to iciA, an inhibitor of chromosome replication in Escherichia coli, a finding which implies that in Aeromonas, cell division may be linked to quorum sensing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation of biofilm development by quorum sensing in Aeromonas hydrophila.

TL;DR: Exposure of the A. hydrophila AH-1N biofilm to N-(3-oxodecanoyl)homoserine lactone, which inhibits exoprotease production in planktonic cells, had no effect on biofilm formation or architecture within the continuous-flow chamber.
