Lack of genomic evidence of AI-2 receptors suggests a non-quorum sensing role for <it>luxS </it>in most bacteria
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Great excitement accompanied discoveries over the last decade in several Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria of the LuxS protein, which catalyzes production of the AI-2 autoinducer molecule for a second quorum sensing system (QS...
