Durable formulations of quorum quenching enzymes.

ABSTRACT: Enzymes with industrial potential often face limitations due to stability and longevity constraints. Thermostable quorum quenching lactonases are appealing biotechnology tools for controlling microbial pathogenicity and biofilm formation via the interference of quorum sensing. However, the effective formulation of these enzymes remains a challenge. Here, we evaluate the resistance and activity of two thermostable quorum quenching lactonase enzymes (SsoPox and GcL) across diverse formulations relevant to industrial applications. We systematically tested these enzymes with 16 different crop adjuvants (including oils, an anti-foaming agent, surfactants, deposition aids, a water conditioner, and a sticking agent) over a 210-day period, demonstrating broad compatibility except with oil-based ad
