Abstract excerpt
The Gram-negative fish pathogenic bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida possesses the LuxIR-type quorum sensing (QS) system, termed AsaIR. In this study the role of QS in A. salmonicida subsp. achromogenes virulence and pigment production was investigated. Five wild-type Asa strains induced the N-acyl-homoserinelactone (AHL) monitor bacteria. HPLC-HR-MS analysis identified only one type of AHL, N-butanoyl-L-homoserine...
