International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2006 Members of the genus Serratia are increasingly responsible for nosocomial infections, the treatment of which may be complicated by the appearance of multi-antibiotic-resistant strains. Some but not all Serratia strains and species produce N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), and possess luxR and luxI homologous genes.

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 ...

Short Chain N-acyl Homoserine Lactone Production by Soil Isolate Burkholderia sp. Strain A9
Sensors, 2013 In the bacteria kingdom, quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication that relies on the production of and response to specific signaling molecules. In proteobacteria, N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are the well-studied signaling molecules.

A novel metagenomic short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase attenuates Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation and virulence on Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the expression of a number of virulence factors, as well as biofilm formation, are controlled by quorum sensing (QS). N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are an important class of signaling molecules involved in bacterial QS and ...

TraI, a LuxI homologue, is responsible for production of conjugation factor, the Ti plasmid N-acylhomoserine lactone autoinducer. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1994 Conjugal transfer of the nopaline-type Agrobacterium Ti plasmid pTiC58 is regulated by a transcriptional activator, TraR, and a diffusible signal molecule, conjugation factor (CF). CF is a member of a family of substituted homoserine lactones (HSLs) that act as coinducers for regulating gene expression in diverse Gram-negative bacteria by a mechanism ...
