Abstract:
The terminology quorum sensing is used to identify a cellular communication phenomenon in the bacterial domain, which happens when a bacteria population reaches a defined cellular density. During the activation of the phenomenon changes in the expression of several genes and consequently in the physiology of the cell are triggered. Concerning cyanobacteria, there is a lack of information about quorum sensing. Some studies show that quorum sensing inducer compounds may alter physiological characteristics of certain cyanobacteria strains. Besides that, indirect evidences have shown that cellular

Abstract:
Stochastic fluctuations, or noise, are ubiquitous in biological systems and play an important role in many cellular processes. Experimental evidences have shown that noise affects the reliability of cell coordination in populations of communicating cells. In this thesis, we study the effects of stochasticity in the emergence of collective behavior in populations of bacteria communicating by QS. We focus on the genetic switch as a paradigm of cellular decision making in both natural and synthetic bacterial systems. Our approach is based on mathematical modeling and stochastic simulations, both

Abstract:
Quorum sensing is a well-established system of communication adopted by a number of bacterial, and some fungal, populations. This cell density dependent phenomenon is based on the accumulation of small diffusible molecules, termed as quorum sensing molecules, in the extracellular milieu until a threshold concentration triggers alteration in the expression of specific genes culminating in variety of responses including virulence, bioluminescence, sporulation, biofilm formation and secondary metabolites production. In Bacilli, quorum sensing is mediated by small peptides that control competence,

Abstract:
It is generally accepted that the majority of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria communicate via production and sensing of small signal molecules, autoinducers. The ability of bacteria to sense their population density is termed quorum sensing (QS). Quorum sensing controls certain phenotypic traits, particularly virulence factors and biofilm formation. In this project a new solution for the attenuation of quorum sensing which involves selective sequestering of the signal molecules using rationally designed synthetic polymers was explored.

Production of these QS signal molecules (QSSMs) requires precursors including fatty acids, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and aromatic amino acids.
