This study identifies PhoPQ as a regulator of quorum sensing in small colony variants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing its role in virulence factor production and subpopulation adaptation.

This study identifies key residues in RhlR that determine ligand specificity and shows how ligand-driven gene regulation affects phenazine gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This study identifies NahK and RetS as key regulators of the Gac-MKN in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing their roles in controlling RsmA activity and the motile-biofilm switch.
