Abstract excerpt
The bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) recruits a diffusible signal factor (DSF), which has recently been structurally characterized as cis-11-methyl-2-dodecenoic acid, as a cell-cell communication signal to synchronize virulence gene expression and biofilm dispersal. In this study, we showed that despite the existance of phenotype variations in different Xcc isolates, the DSF-mediated...
