Synthesis and Assay of Vibrio Quorum Sensing Inhibitors

Thiophenesulfonamide compounds are potent and specific inhibitors of Vibrio quorum sensing regulators LuxR/HapR that block their activity in vivo, thus preventing transcription of genes for virulence, motility, and biofilms. This protocol details how these compounds are synthesized, modeled in silico, and assayed in vivo for activity against...

Gene Regulation in Microbial Communities: Quorum Sensing

Quorum sensing is a mechanism of bacterial communication that enables coordinated gene expression in response to changes in population density. This facilitates collective behaviors that enhance survival, resource acquisition, and ecological adaptation. This process relies on small signaling molecules called autoinducers that accumulate as bacterial populations grow. When a critical threshold concentration of autoinducers is reached, bacterial cells collectively modify gene expression,...

Induction of Differentiation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus into Swarmer Cells

Source: Heering, J., et al. Induction of Cellular Differentiation and Single Cell Imaging of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Swimmer and Swarmer Cells. J. Vis. Exp. (2017)This video demonstrates the induction of swarmer cell differentiation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus using a specially prepared agar medium. By manipulating environmental cues such as iron depletion, calcium supplementation, and surface contact, the bacteria are stimulated to transition from their swimmer form into elongated swarmer cells...

Development of a More Sensitive and Specific Chromogenic Agar Medium for the Detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Other Vibrio Species

Detection and isolation of clinically relevant Vibrio species require selective and differential culture media. This study evaluated the ability of a new chromogenic medium to detect and identify V. parahaemolyticus and other related species. The new medium was found to have better sensitivity and specificity than the conventional medium.

Source: Heering, J., et al., Induction of Cellular Differentiation and Single Cell Imaging of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Swimmer and Swarmer Cells. J. Vis. Exp. (2017).This video demonstrates the preparation of swarmer cells from a Vibrio parahaemolyticus colony for fluorescence imaging. The bacteria are genetically engineered to express a fluorophore-tagged protein that localizes unipolarly in swimmer cells and bipolarly in elongated swarmer cells, allowing for their visual differentiation.
