A transcription factor-sRNA-mediated double-negative feedback loop confers pathogen-specific control of quorum-sensing genes

Ameya A. Mashruwala, Kaitlin Decker, Chenyi Fei, Julie S. Valastyan, Bonnie L. Bassler

The paper identifies a double-negative feedback loop between LuxT and VqmR in V. cholerae that regulates quorum-sensing genes and biofilm formation.

Cell-scale gene-expression measurements in Vibrio cholerae biofilms reveal spatiotemporal patterns underlying development

Grace E. Johnson, Chenyi Fei, Ned S. Wingreen, Bonnie L. Bassler

This study uses smFISH to analyze gene expression in V. cholerae biofilms, revealing spatiotemporal patterns and the role of quorum sensing and c-di-GMP signaling in matrix gene expression.
