Biochem/physiol Actions

N-(3-Hydroxydodecanoyl)-DL-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia and Salmonella, and are involved in quorum sensing, cell to cell communication among bacteria; for reviews see. Bacterial intercellular communication has become a target for the development of new anti-virulence drugs, and a research focus for the prevention of biofilm formation.

Sturgeon is an important fresh water-culture fish in China. A problem with sturgeon is its high susceptibility to spoilage. Food spoilage is reported to be regulated by quorum sensing (QS). To identify the QS signals acetylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) in

Recently, opportunistic nosocomial infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii have become increasingly prevalent worldwide. The pathogen often establishes biofilms that adhere to medical devices, causing chronic infections refractory to antimicrobial therapy. Clinical reports have indicated that some macrolide antibiotics are effective

A method for the comprehensive profiling of the N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) family of bacterial quorum-sensing molecules is presented using liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to a hybrid quadrupole linear ion trap (LTQ) and Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron-resonance mass spectrometer (FTICR). We demonstrate an
