General description

N-(β-Ketocaproyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C6-HSL) is one of the quorum signaling molecules for V. fischeri. 3-oxo-C6-HSL is produced by LuxI autoinducer synthase catalyzed reaction between S-adenosylmethionine and acylated-acyl carrier proteins (Acyl-ACPs). It can be used in analyzing the expression of the orthogonal specialized reporter genes.

New approaches to deal with drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria are urgent. We studied the antibacterial effect of chitosans against an Escherichia coli quorum sensing biosensor reporter strain and selected a non-toxic chitosan to evaluate its quorum sensing (QS) inhibition activity and

The engineering of advanced multicellular behaviors, such as the programmed growth of biofilms or tissues, requires cells to communicate multiple aspects of physiological information. Unfortunately, few cell-cell communication systems have been developed for synthetic biology. Here, we engineer a genetically

Quorum sensing (QS) is crucial for adaption and development of foodborne bacteria in diverse environments. Pseudomonas fluorescens PF07 with QS mediated acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) activity was isolated from spoiled large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea). In this study AHL-mediated QS

The autoinducer N-(3-oxo-hexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C6-HSL) plays a significant role in the quorum-sensing system of the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri. Upon forming a transcriptional activation complex with LuxR, 3-oxo-C6-HSL induces transcription of the luxICDABEG operon, leading to the increased production of
