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

A novel plasmid for detection of N-acyl homoserine lactones. [PDF]
Plasmid, 2009 Many bacteria utilize acyl-homoserine lactones as cell to cell signals that can regulate the expression of numerous genes. Structural differences in acyl-homoserine lactones produced by different bacteria, such as acyl side chain length and the presence or absence of an oxy group, make many of the commonly used detection bioassays impractical for broad

Characterization of N-Acyl-homoserine Lactones (AHLs)-Deficient Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
Indian J Microbiol, 2014 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen causing severe respiratory infections. Acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) are self-generated diffusible signal molecules that mediate population density dependent gene expression (quorum sensing, QS) in a variety of Gram-negative bacteria, and several virulence genes of bacterial pathogens are known ...

Production of N-acyl Homoserine Lactones and Virulence Factors of Waterborne Aeromonas hydrophila. [PDF]
Indian J Microbiol, 2013 Aeromonads are inhabitants of aquatic ecosystems and are described as being involved in intestinal disturbances and other infections. The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signal molecules and some virulence factors, including hemolysins, proteases, extracellular nucleases production and ...

Imidazolines as non-classical bioisosteres of N-acyl homoserine lactones and quorum sensing inhibitors. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2012 A series of selected 2-substituted imidazolines were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields by a modification of protocols reported in the literature. They were evaluated as potential non-classical bioisosteres of AHL with the aim of counteracting bacterial pathogenicity.
