Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing (QS) is a molecular communication system used by microorganisms to adopt behaviors in a cell density-dependent manner. Lactonase enzymes, able to hydrolyze the signal molecules acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL) can counteract QS-mediated virulence in Gram-negative bacteria. Optimizing lactonases activity or specificity for AHL through enzyme engineering approaches is thus highly attractive to increase...
