Abstract excerpt
The control of gene expression in response to an increase in the bacterial population density (Quorum Sensing) involves low-molecular-weight signal molecules (autoinducers, AI). AI-2 and synthase LuxS mediating its synthesis are widely distributed in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In this work, the data were obtained on the role of global regulators of gene expression in AI-2 synthesis in Escherichia...
