Mutation of luxS affects biofilm formation in Streptococcus mutans.

Infection and immunity - 1 Apr 2003

Merritt Justin, Qi Fengxia, Goodman Steven D, Anderson Maxwell H, Shi Wenyuan

Abstract excerpt

Quorum sensing is a bacterial mechanism for regulating gene expression in response to changes in population density. Many bacteria are capable of acyl-homoserine lactone-based or peptide-based intraspecies quorum sensing and luxS-dependent interspecies quorum sensing. While there is good evidence about the involvement of intraspecies quorum sensing in bacterial biofilm, little is known about the role of luxS in...
