USE OF POROUS MATERIALS FOR INHIBITING/DISTURBING THE SENSE OF QUORUM OF BACTERIA Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC C12N1/20 C12Q1/68 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a method for modulating flora of bacteria in a medium by inhibiting the feeling of a quorum of bacteria (versions). Methods include identification of bacteria in which it is required to inhibit feeling quorum, and introduction of effective amount of composition, including an adsorbent/catalytic inhibitor of the signal QS sensing molecule, which is an inorganic or organic sorption material, a sorption or sorbent, or non-porous mineral; or a composition comprising an adsorbent/catalytic inhibitor of a QS signaling sensing molecule which is AHL, PQS, an AI-1 signal or an AI-2 signal; or a composition comprising an adsorbent/catalytic QS sensing signal inhibitor.

EFFECT: inventions provide interruption of intercellular communication of bacteria, which enables bacteria to regulate formation of biofilm, bioluminescence and virulence.
