Description

Application

• Farnesol repurposing for prevention and treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii biofilms.: This article explores the efficacy of repurposing farnesol for preventing and treating biofilms caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, highlighting its potential as an antibacterial agent (Tan et al., 2024).


• Methyl-Jasmonate Functions as a Molecular Switch Promoting Cross-Talk between Pathways for the Biosynthesis of Isoprenoid Backbones Used to Modify Proteins in Plants.: This study investigates the role of methyl-jasmonate in regulating the biosynthesis of isoprenoid backbones, which are crucial for post-translational modification of proteins in plants and may involve farnesol as an intermediate or by-product (Chevalier et al., 2024).


• Repurposing Farnesol for Combating Drug-Resistant and Persistent Single and Polymicrobial Biofilms.: This article discusses the potential of repurposing farnesol to combat drug-resistant and persistent biofilms, demonstrating its utility in enhancing antibiotic efficacy and addressing antimicrobial resistance (Tan et al., 2024).
