Global and Phylogenetic Distribution of Quorum Sensing Signals, Acyl Homoserine Lactones, in the Family of Vibrionaceae [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2014 Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) and the corresponding signals, acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), were first described for a luminescent Vibrio species. Since then, detailed knowledge has been gained on the functional level of QS; however, the abundance of ...

Production of both l‐ and d‐ N‐acyl‐homoserine lactones by Burkholderia cepacia and Vibrio fischeri [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2021 Quorum sensing (QS) is a complex process in which molecules, such as l‐N‐acyl‐homoserine lactones (l‐AHLs), are produced as essential signaling molecules allowing bacteria to detect and respond to cell population density by gene regulation.

Unusual enantiomeric D,L-N-acyl homoserine lactones in Pectobacterium atrosepticum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Quorum Sensing allows bacteria to sense their population density via diffusible N-acyl homoserine lactone (N-HL) signaling molecules. Upon reaching a high enough cell density, bacteria will collectively exhibit a phenotype.

Impact of N-Acyl-Homoserine Lactones, Quorum Sensing Molecules, on Gut Immunity [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Among numerous molecules found in the gut ecosystem, quorum sensing (QS) molecules represent an overlooked part that warrants highlighting. QS relies on the release of small molecules (auto-inducers) by bacteria that accumulate in the environment ...

Detection of New Quorum Sensing N-Acyl Homoserine Lactones From Aeromonas veronii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Sturgeon is an important fresh water-culture fish in China. A problem with sturgeon is its high susceptibility to spoilage. Food spoilage is reported to be regulated by quorum sensing (QS). To identify the QS signals acetylated homoserine lactones (AHLs)

The coordinated responses of host plants to diverse N-acyl homoserine lactones [PDF]
Plant Signaling & BehaviorIn nature, co-evolution shaped balanced entities of host plants and their associated microorganism. Plants maintain this balance by detecting their associated microorganism and coordinating responses to them. Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread bacterial

Pseudomonas cremoricolorata Strain ND07 Produces N-acyl Homoserine Lactones as Quorum Sensing Molecules [PDF]
Sensors, 2014 Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell-to-cell communication system controlling QS-mediated genes which is synchronized with the population density. The regulation of specific gene activity is dependent on the signaling molecules produced, namely N-acyl
