This study investigates AHL signaling in dental plaque, showing AHLs are present under aerobic conditions and influence microbial community structure by altering the abundance of commensal and late colonizer species.

This study investigates the catalytic mechanisms and substrate specificity of the lactonase GcL, revealing its promiscuity in reaction mechanisms and broad substrate acceptance.

This paper engineers two AHL acylases, PvdQ and MacQ, to improve their stability, activity, and substrate specificity for quorum quenching applications.
