Abstract excerpt
In Gram-negative bacteria, quorum-sensing (QS) communication is mostly mediated by N-acyl homoserine lactones (N-AHSL). The diversity of bacterial populations that produce or inactivate the N-AHSL signal in soil and tobacco rhizosphere was investigated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of amplified 16S DNA and DNA sequencing. Such analysis indicated the occurrence of N-AHSL-producing...
