The quorum sensing peptide BlpC regulates the transcription of genes outside its associated gene cluster and impacts the growth of Streptococcus thermophilus
Bacteriocin production in Streptococcus thermophilus is regulated by cell density-dependent signaling molecules, including BlpC, which regulates transcription from within the bacteriocin-like peptide (blp) gene cluster. In some strains, such as S. thermophilus ST106, this signaling system does not f...
