Production of Acyl-Homoserine Lactone Quorum-Sensing Signals by Gram-Negative Plant-Associated Bacteria

Many gram-negative bacteria regulate expression of specialized gene sets in response to population density. This regulatory mechanism, called autoinduction or quorumsensing, is based on the production by the bacteria of a small, diffusible signal molecule called the autoinducer. In the most well-stu...
