SdiA, an N-acylhomoserine lactone receptor, becomes active during the transit of Salmonella enterica through the gastrointestinal tract of turtles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 LuxR-type transcription factors are typically used by bacteria to determine the population density of their own species by detecting N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs).

Production of both l‐ and d‐ N‐acyl‐homoserine lactones by Burkholderia cepacia and Vibrio fischeri
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.

The AHL- and BDSF-dependent quorum sensing systems control specific and overlapping sets of genes in Burkholderia cenocepacia H111. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Quorum sensing in Burkholderia cenocepacia H111 involves two signalling systems that depend on different signal molecules, namely N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) and the diffusible signal factor cis-2-dodecenoic acid (BDSF). Previous studies have shown

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2023 Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are typical quorum-sensing molecules of gram-negative bacteria. Recent evidence suggests that AHLs may also affect gram-positives, although knowledge of these interactions remains scarce.

Deciphering the Symbiotic Significance of Quorum Sensing Systems of Sinorhizobium fredii HH103 [PDF]
, 2020 Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell-to-cell signaling mechanism that collectively regulates and synchronizes behaviors by means of small diffusible chemical molecules.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel N-α-haloacylated homoserine lactones as quorum sensing modulators [PDF]
, 2014 Novel N-α-haloacylated homoserine lactones, in which a halogen atom was introduced at the α-position of the carbonyl function of the N-acyl chain, have been studied as quorum sensing (QS) modulators and compared with a library of natural N-acylated ...

Chemotaxis of C. reinhardtii Towards AHLs [PDF]
The Young Researcher, 2020 Quorum sensing is a widespread phenomenon in various environments, allowing organisms to display symbiosis, pathogenicity, etc. This mechanism has recently been of great interest with the newfound discovery that quorum sensing not only occurs in ...
