Litopenaeus vannamei is an extremely perishable food because of rapid microbial growth and chemical degradation after harvesting. Biopreservation is a food preservation technology based on the addition of "positive" bacteria to kill or prevent the gr...
The effects of dual species interactions on biofilm formation by Aeromonas hydrophila in the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pectobacterium carotovorum, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes were examined. Hi...

Quorum sensing is a widespread form of cell-to-cell communication, which is based on the production of signaling molecules known as autoinducers (AIs). The first group contains highly species-specific N-acyl homoserine lactones (N-AHLs), generally kn...
Signal crosstalk within biological communication networks is common, and such crosstalk can have unexpected consequences for decision making in heterogeneous communities of cells. Here we examined crosstalk within a bacterial community composed of fi...
Multi-agent systems demonstrate the ability to collectively perform complex tasks (e.g., construction, search, and locomotion) with greater speed, efficiency, or effectiveness than could a single agent alone. Direct and indirect coordination methods ...

Understanding of quorum-sensing peptides (QSPs) in their functional mechanism plays an essential role in finding new opportunities to combat bacterial infections by designing drugs. With the avalanche of the newly available peptide sequences in the p...
The transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) of Bacillus subtilis coordinates cellular functions of fundamental interest, including metabolism, biofilm formation, and sporulation. Here, we use unsupervised machine learning to modularize the transcrip...
An evolutionary computation framework to learn binary threshold networks is presented. Inspired by the recent trend of binary neural networks, where weights and activation thresholds are represented using 1 and -1 such that they can be stored in 1-bi...
CONTEXT: Staphylococcus aureus is a highly pathogenic organism that is the most common cause of postoperative complications as well as severe infections like bacteremia and infective endocarditis. By mediating the formation of biofilms and the expres...
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a bioactive compound in NAD(P) metabolism, which exhibits diverse pharmaceutical interests. However, enhancing NMN biosynthesis faces the challange of competing with cell growth and disturbing intracellular redox ...
