Characterization of N-Acylhomoserine Lactones Produced by Bacteria Isolated from Industrial Cooling Water Systems [PDF]

Sensors, 2015
The cooling water systems are used to remove heat generated in the various industries. Biofouling of the cooling water systems causes blocking of condenser pipes and the heat exchanger tubes. In many Gram-negative bacteria, N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)

Unusual Multiple Production of N-Acylhomoserine Lactones a by Burkholderia sp. Strain C10B Isolated from Dentine Caries [PDF]

Sensors, 2014
Bacteria realize the ability to communicate by production of quorum sensing (QS) molecules called autoinducers, which regulate the physiological activities in their ecological niches.

Draft genome sequence of Citrobacter freundii strain ST2, a γ-proteobacterium that produces N-acylhomoserine lactones

Genomics Data, 2015
Citrobacter freundii strain ST2, isolated from the algae bloom sample, possesses an N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) production activity that secretes short-chain AHL molecules. In this study, we sequenced the complete genome of C.

The Janthinobacterium sp. HH01 genome encodes a homologue of the V. cholerae CqsA and L. pneumophila LqsA autoinducer synthases [PDF]

, 2013
Janthinobacteria commonly form biofilms on eukaryotic hosts and are known to synthesize antibacterial and antifungal compounds. Janthinobacterium sp. HH01 was recently isolated from an aquatic environment and its genome sequence was established.

Nocardioides kongjuensis sp. nov., an N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading bacterium [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2006
A Gram-positive, rod- or coccoid-shaped andN-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone-degrading bacterial strain, A2-4T, was isolated from a soil in Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain A2-4Tgrew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 30 °C without NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that

Stereochemical insignificance discovered in Acinetobacter baumannii quorum sensing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Stereochemistry is a key aspect of molecular recognition for biological systems. As such, receptors and enzymes are often highly stereospecific, only recognizing one stereoisomer of a ligand.

Structure and Function of the α‐Hydroxylation Bimodule of the Mupirocin Polyketide Synthase

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 47, November 20, 2023., 2023
Mupirocin is a clinically important polyketide antibiotic bearing a 6‐hydroxy group that is essential for biological activity. NMR spectroscopy, authentic synthetic substrates and mass spectrometry were used to establish the mechanistic steps governing incorporation of this key 6‐hydroxy group by an α‐hydroxylation bimodule that recruits a trans acting

A second N-acylhomoserine lactone signal produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995
Quorum sensing systems are used by a number of Gram-negative bacterial species to regulate specific sets of genes in a cell density-dependent manner. Quorum sensing involves synthesis and detection of extracellular signals termed autoinducers. As shown in recombinant Escherichia coli, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa autoinducer (PAI) N-(3-oxododecanoyl ...

Genome sequence of Microbacterium testaceum StLB037, an N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading bacterium isolated from potato leaves. [PDF]

J Bacteriol, 2011
Microbacterium testaceum is an endophytic Gram-positive bacterium that resides within plant hosts. M. testaceum StLB037 was isolated from potato leaves and shows N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading activity. Here, we present the 3.98-Mb complete genome sequence of StLB037, with an average GC content of 70.28%.
