Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing has been shown to be important for the development of a normal P. aeruginosa biofilm, and it follows that other microorganisms may employ a similar mechanism in the development of mature biofilms. To methods for detecting the presence of AI activity in biofilms are presented that employ an AI-responsive reporter strain harboring a lacZ fusion. Method 1 involves detection of AI activity in crude...
