N-acyl-homoserine lactone quorum sensing (AHL-QS) has been shown to regulate many physiological behaviors in Serratia marcescens MG1. In the current study, the effects of AHL-QS on the biosynthesis of acid and neutral products by S.

Inhibitors of Bacterial Swarming Behavior
Hard to stop: Bacterial swarming motility is a form of coordinated population behavior which is important for pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance. Consequently, controlling swarming is of major interest for targeting bacterial pathogens and achieving better understanding of microbial motility.

The soil bacterium Chromobacterium substugae uses a single LuxI-R-type quorum-sensing system, CviI-R, to regulate genes in a cell density-dependent manner. CviI synthesizes the signal N-hexanoyl-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) and CviR is a C6-HSL-responsive

Peptides as quorum sensing molecules : measurement techniques and obtained levels in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated in a cell-density dependent way, a phenomenon called quorum sensing. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use this type of communication, though the signal molecules (auto-inducers) used by ...

Combination of bacterial N-acyl homoserine lactones primes Arabidopsis defenses via jasmonate metabolism [PDF]
N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are important players in plant–bacteria interactions. Different AHL-producing bacteria can improve plant growth and resistance against plant pathogens.

A Sinorhizobium meliloti-specific N-acyl homoserine lactone quorum-sensing signal increases nodule numbers in Medicago truncatula independent of autoregulation [PDF]
N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) act as quorum sensing signals that regulate cell-density dependent behaviors in many gram-negative bacteria, in particular those important for plant-microbe interactions.

Mechanism of the Quorum-Quenching Lactonase (AiiA) from Bacillus thuringiensis. 1. Product-Bound Structures†‡ [PDF]
: The N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone hydrolases (AHL lactonases) have attracted considerable attention because of their ability to quench AHL-mediated quorum-sensing pathways in Gram-negative bacteria and because of their relation to other enzymes in the ...

Many members of the genus Chromobacterium produce violacein, a characteristic purple pigment which is induced by small diffusible N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) quorum-sensing molecules.

Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication in bacteria that couples gene expression through the accumulation of signaling molecules, which finally induce the production of several virulence factors and modulate bacterial behaviors.
