Abstract excerpt
Edwardsiella tarda is a bacterial pathogen that can infect both humans and animals. TX1, an Ed. tarda strain isolated from diseased fish, was found to produce autoinducer 2 (AI-2)-like activity that was growth phase dependent and modulated by growth conditions. The gene coding for the AI-2 synthase was cloned from TX1 and designated luxS(Et)(.) LuxS(Et) was able to complement the AI-2 mutant phenotype of...
