The Role of luxS in the Fire Blight Pathogen Erwinia amylovora Is Limited to Metabolism and Does Not Involve Quorum Sensing

Erwinia amylovora is a gram-negative phytopathogen that causes fire blight of pome fruit and related members of the family Rosaceae. We sequenced the putative autoinducer-2 (AI-2) synthase gene luxS from E. amylovora. Diversity analysis indicated that this gene is extremely conserved among E. amylov...
