Autoinducer-2 Quorum Sensing Contributes to Regulation of Microcin PDI in Escherichia coli

The Escherichia coli quorum sensing (QS) signal molecule, autoinducer-2 (AI-2), reaches its maximum concentration during mid-to-late growth phase after which it quickly degrades during stationary phase. This pattern of AI-2 concentration coincides with the up- then down-regulation of a recently desc...
