Targeting quorum sensing for manipulation of commensal microbiota by Zachary Ziegert, Matthew Dietz, Max Hill, Marjais McBride, Elizabeth Painter, Mikael H. Elias, Christopher Staley

“…In this review, we summarize the diversity of QS signals as well as their ability to influence “non-target” behaviors among species that have receptors but not synthases for those signals. We highlight host-microbe interactions facilitated by QS and describe cross-talk between QS and the mammalian endocrine and immune systems, as well as host surveillance of QS. …”

Horticultural activity in soil inoculated with Streptomyces rimosus improved depressive mood with altered electroencephalogram and serum metabolism in adults by Risu Kim, Sowon Yang, Choong Hwan Lee, Sin-Ae Park

“…Abstract This study investigated the psychophysiological and metabolomic changes during horticultural activities involving the inhalation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in individuals experiencing depressive mood based on the presence or absence of the soil microbe Streptomyces rimosus, which emits VOCs. Thirty participants met the specific depression and anxiety criteria and engaged in horticultural activities using soil inoculated with S. rimosus (experimental group) or medium (control group). …”
