N-Octanoylhomoserine lactone signalling mediated by the BpsI–BpsR quorum sensing system plays a major role in biofilm formation of Burkholderia pseudomallei
21 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
The genome of Burkholderia pseudomallei encodes three acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing systems, each comprising an AHL synthase and a signal receptor/regulator. The BpsI-BpsR system produces N-octanoylhomoserine lactone (C8HL) and is positively auto-regulated by its AHL product. The products of the remaining two systems have not been identified. In this study, tandem MS was used to identify and...
