Quorum Sensing Activity of Enterobacter asburiae Isolated from Lettuce Leaves
Sensors, 2013 Bacterial communication or quorum sensing (QS) is achieved via sensing of QS signaling molecules consisting of oligopeptides in Gram-positive bacteria and N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) in most Gram-negative bacteria.

Quorum Sensing in the Context of Food Microbiology [PDF]
, 2012 Food spoilage may be defined as a process that renders a product undesirable or unacceptable for consumption and is the outcome of the biochemical activity of a microbial community that eventually dominates according to the prevailing ecological ...

Acyl homoserine lactone-based quorum sensing in a methanogenic archaeon [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2012 Abstract Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)-based quorum sensing commonly refers to cell density-dependent regulatory mechanisms found in bacteria. However, beyond bacteria, this cell-to-cell communication mechanism is poorly understood. Here we show that a methanogenic archaeon, Methanosaeta harundinacea 6Ac, encodes an active quorum sensing

Caffeine as a Potential Quorum Sensing Inhibitor
Sensors, 2013 Quorum sensing enables bacteria to control the gene expression in response to the cell density. It regulates a variety of bacterial physiological functions such as biofilm formation, bioluminescence, virulence factors and swarming which has been shown ...

A Sinorhizobium meliloti-specific N-acyl homoserine lactone quorum-sensing signal increases nodule numbers in Medicago truncatula independent of autoregulation [PDF]
, 2016 N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) act as quorum sensing signals that regulate cell-density dependent behaviors in many gram-negative bacteria, in particular those important for plant-microbe interactions.

Specificity of Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Synthases Examined by Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2006 ABSTRACT Many gram-negative bacteria produce a specific set of N -acyl- l -homoserine-lactone (AHL) signaling molecules for the purpose of quorum sensing, which is a means of regulating coordinated gene expression in a cell-density-dependent manner.

Quorum Sensing Activity of Aeromonas Caviae Strain YL12, A Bacterium Isolated from Compost
Sensors, 2014 Quorum sensing is a well-studied cell-to-cell communication method that involves a cell-density dependent regulation of genes expression mediated by signalling molecules. In this study, a bacterium isolated from a plant material compost pile was found to

A New Acyl-homoserine Lactone Molecule Generated by Nitrobacter winogradskyi [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractIt is crucial to reveal the regulatory mechanism of nitrification to understand nitrogen conversion in agricultural systems and wastewater treatment. In this study, the nwiI gene of Nitrobacter winogradskyi was confirmed to be a homoserine lactone synthase by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli that synthesized several acyl-homoserine ...
