Abstract excerpt

Indole produced via the beta-elimination reaction of l-tryptophan by pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent tryptophanase (EC 4.1.99.1) has recently been shown to be an extracellular and intercellular signalling molecule in bacteria, and controls bacterial biofilm formation and virulence factors. In th...
