Quorum Sensing Activity of Hafnia alvei Isolated from Packed Food by Jia-Yi Tan, Wai-Fong Yin, Kok-Gan Chan

“…Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism adopted by bacteria to regulate expression of genes according to population density. N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are a type of QS signalling molecules commonly found in Gram-negative bacteria which have been reported to play a role in microbial spoilage of foods and pathogenesis. …”
