Negative regulation of violacein biosynthesis in Chromobacterium violaceum [PDF]
, 2017 In Chromobacteium violaceum, the purple pigment violacein is under positive regulation by the N-acylhomoserine lactone CviI/R quorum sensing system and negative regulation by an uncharacterized putative repressor.

PfmA, a novel quorum-quenching N-acylhomoserine lactone acylase from Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra
Microbiology, 2017 Many bacteria, such as Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Bacteroidetes, use N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum-sensing (QS) signal molecules for communication. Enzymatic degradation of AHLs, such as AHL acylase and AHL lactonase, can degrade AHLs (quorum quenching, QQ) to attenuate or disarm the virulence of pathogens.

Quorum Sensing Activity of Hafnia alvei Isolated from Packed Food
Sensors, 2014 Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism adopted by bacteria to regulate expression of genes according to population density. N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are a type of QS signalling molecules commonly found in Gram-negative bacteria which have been ...

A novel medium for the isolation of N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading bacteria
Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2008 A novel chemically defined medium, named KG medium, supplemented with N-3-oxo-hexanoylhomoserine lactone (3-oxo-C6-HSL), an acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) used as signalling molecules in Gram-negative bacterial cell-to-cell communication, as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen, was designed and successfully used for the enrichment and isolation of AHL-

Interference with the germination and growth of Ulvazoospores by quorum-sensing molecules from Ulva-associated epiphytic bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Ulva zoospores preferentially settle on N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) producing marine bacterial biofilms. To investigate whether AHL signal molecules also affect the success and rate of zoospore germination in addition to zoospore attraction, the ...

Identification of QuiP, the Product of Gene PA1032, as the Second Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Acylase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 [PDF]
, 2006 The relevance of the acyl homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum signals N-3-oxododecanoyl-homoserine lactone (3OC12HSL) and N-butanoyl-homoserine lactone to the biology and virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is well investigated.
