Listening in on bacteria: acyl-homoserine lactone signalling

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2002
Bacterial cell-to-cell signalling has emerged as a new area in microbiology. Individual bacterial cells communicate with each other and co-ordinate group activities. Although a lot of detail is known about the mechanisms of a few well-characterized bacterial communication systems, other systems have been discovered only recently.

New temperature-switchable acyl homoserine lactone-regulated expression vector

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2022
Bacterial expression systems play an indispensable role in the biosynthesis of recombinant proteins. Different proteins and the tasks associated with them may require different systems. The purpose of this work is to make an expression vector that allows switching on and off the expression of the target gene during cell incubation.

Bacillus megaterium CYP102A1 Oxidation of Acyl Homoserine Lactones and Acyl Homoserines

Biochemistry, 2007
Quorum sensing, the ability of bacteria to sense their own population density through the synthesis and detection of small molecule signals, has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are a major class of quorum sensing signaling molecules. In nature, some bacteria that do not synthesize AHLs themselves have

Thiourea-catalyzed aminolysis of N-acyl homoserine lactones

Chemical Communications, 2013
Thiourea catalysts accelerate aminolysis of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), molecules integral to bacterial quorum sensing. The catalysts afford rate enhancement of up to 10 times the control in CD(3)CN. Mild catalysis in other polar aprotic solvents is still observed, while the activity is attenuated in polar protic solvents.

N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Mediating Initial Adhesion of Microalgal Biofilm Formation

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023
While pioneering methods have demonstrated that bacterial N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) signaling molecules can influence the growth and self-aggregation of suspended microalgae, whether AHLs can affect the initial adhesion to a carrier has remained an open question.

Imaging N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Quorum Sensing In Vivo

2010
In order to study N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)-based quorum sensing in vivo, we present a protocol using an Escherichia coli strain equipped with a luxR-based monitor system, which in the presence of exogenous AHL molecules expresses a green fluorescent protein (GFP).

Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Quorum Sensing: From Evolution to Application

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2013
Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread process in bacteria that employs autoinducing chemical signals to coordinate diverse, often cooperative activities such as bioluminescence, biofilm formation, and exoenzyme secretion. Signaling via acyl-homoserine lactones is the paradigm for QS in Proteobacteria and is particularly well understood in the ...
