Abstract excerpt
Analysis of N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones (AHLs) produced by Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae indicated that there may be a network of quorum-sensing regulatory systems producing multiple AHLs in this species. Using a strain lacking a symbiosis plasmid, which carries some of the quorum-sensing genes, we isolated mutations in two genes (raiI and raiR) that are required for production of AHLs. The raiIR genes are...
