Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “involved in the modulation of microbial surface colonization and in the regulation of gene expression in biofilms (414, 728).”
Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Network Architectures (2009, neutral): “AHLs are composed of homoserine lactone (HSL) rings carrying acyl chains of C4 to C18 in length (25).”
Bacterial quorum sensing: its role in virulence and possibilities for its control. (2012, background): “Acyl chains ranging from C4 to C18 have been identified with modifications such as carbonyl and hydroxy moieties at the C3 position (Fuqua et al. 2001; Ng and Bassler 2009).”
Identification, Timing, and Signal Specificity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quorum-Controlled Genes: a Transcriptome Analysis (2003, background): “Previously, the effects of acyl-HSLs on chromosomal lacZ insertions in a quorum-sensing signal generation mutant (MW1, a lasI rhlI mutant) were studied (33), and 39 loci that responded to the addition of 3OC12-HSL and C4HSL were identified.”
Signalling: Listening in on bacteria: acyl-homoserine lactone signalling (2002, neutral): “We now know that many Proteobacteria have homologues of LuxR and LuxI, and produce and respond to acyl-HSLs, but different bacteria regulate different target genes with these acyl-HSL quorum-sensing system”
The role of bacterial biofilms in chronic infections (2013, background): “These QS systems control a wide range of functions in Gram-negative bacteria (151, 152), such as plasmid conjugation in Agrobacterium tumefaciens (153), virulence gene expression in Vibrio cholerae, Burkholderia cepacia and P.”
Disruption of bacterial quorum sensing: an unexplored strategy to fight infections in aquaculture (2004, background): “1A, for reviews see Fuqua et al., 2001; Miller and Bassler, 2001; Whitehead et al., 2001).”
Plant-driven selection of microbes (2009, background): “Many Gramnegative rhizosphere bacteria, including pathogens, use auto-inducer signaling compounds in order to coordinate their activity when colonizing the rhizoplane (Fuqua et al. 2001; Gantner et al. 2006).”
Structure of a bacterial quorum-sensing transcription factor complexed with pheromone and DNA (2002, background): “AHLs are thought to bind to and activate LuxR-type receptor proteins, which function as cytoplasmic transcription factors, either as transcriptional activators or repressor”
MOLECULAR SIGNALS AND RECEPTORS: CONTROLLING RHIZOSPHERE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PLANTS AND OTHER ORGANISMS (2003, background): “3C), a furanosyl borate ester (AI2), peptides, or g-butyrolactones as intercellular signal molecules to coordinate behaviors of individual cells in a local population (Fuqua et al. 2001, Whitehead et al. 2001, Chen et al. 2002).”
