Substrate Specificity of Actinoplanes Antibiotic Peptide Lactonases [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1969 A constitutive peptide lactonase from Actinoplanes missouriensis hydrolyzed echinomycin, stendomycin, thiostrepton, vernamycin B, staphylomycin S, and etamycin. An induced lactonase hydrolyzed actinomycin but not the other peptide lactones.

AhlX, an N-acylhomoserine Lactonase with Unique Properties [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 N-Acylhomoserine lactonase degrades the lactone ring of N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) and has been widely suggested as a promising candidate for use in bacterial disease control. While a number of AHL lactonases have been characterized, none of them has been developed as a commercially available enzymatic product for in vitro AHL quenching due to ...

Quorum Quenching Revisited—From Signal Decays to Signalling Confusion
Sensors, 2012 In a polymicrobial community, while some bacteria are communicating with neighboring cells (quorum sensing), others are interrupting the communication (quorum quenching), thus creating a constant arms race between intercellular communication. In the past
