Abstract excerpt
Several transmissible Burkholderia cenocepacia strains that infect multiple cystic fibrosis patients contain a genomic island designated as the cenocepacia island (cci). The cci contains a predicted N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) synthase gene, cciI, and a predicted response regulator gene, cciR. AHL production profiles indicated that CciI catalyzes the synthesis of N-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone and minor...
