Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas syringae forms large cell aggregates that are more stress tolerant than solitary cells during epiphytic growth on plants. The differential survival of aggregates on leaves suggests that epiphytic fitness traits may be controlled in a density-dependent manner via cell-cell signaling. We investigated this hypothesis in P. syringae B728a. Synthesis of N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL), 3-oxo-hexanoyl...
