F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Bugging the Bugs Microbial Geneticist Bonnie Bassler: Investigating Bacterial Communications

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Bonnie Bassler Is a Spy Bassler, a bacterial geneticist at Princeton University, eavesdrops on bacteria. The bacteria Bassler investigates Float freely in oceans Coat fish, coral, and debris Glow in the dark Question: What word describes bacteria that glow in the dark?

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Answer: Bioluminescent Luminescent bacteria can make seafood glimmer blue-green. Next time you see raw fish, turn out the lights and check out the glow!

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Vibrio harveyi bacteria (V. harveyi) Only glow when they are in a sufficiently large group (known as a quorum)

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Quorum Sensing Bacteria use quorum sensing to mastermind behaviors, including Mating Releasing toxins Causing disease (virulence)

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences How Harmful Bacteria Use Quorum Sensing These changes culminate in an infection that can ambush and overwhelm our immune system defenses. The bacteria appear relatively innocuous as they quietly grow in number. When their population reaches a certain level, instant changes occur in their Behavior Appearance Metabolism

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences More About Quorum Sensing 1.Bacteria leak a chemical into their surroundings. 2.Independent, solitary bacterial cells become part of a large, multicellular organism, known as biofilm, when the amount of a certain chemical reaches a particular level. What do we call such chemicals? Give an example of a common biofilm.

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences The Chain of Command in Bacterial Communication

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Decoy Molecules? AI-2 contains the element boron AI-2 and similar boron- containing molecules made in the laboratory could serve as decoys to subvert virulence and other quorum-sensing behaviors Autoinducer 2 may hold the key to disrupting quorum-sensing.

F INDINGS National Institutes of Health National Institute of General Medical Sciences Research Applications In what ways might the knowledge that Bassler has gained about bacterial quorum-sensing be applied in human medicine?
