Homoserine

To communicate with its brethren, it uses a molecule called acyl-homoserine lactone, or AHL. ❋ Unknown (2009)

N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) was detected in the high biofilm-producing isolates. ❋ Chakrit Sawasdidoln Et Al. (2010)

E. coli genomes, including in K-12 where they were shown to be involved in repression of homoserine lactone synthesis. ❋ Zhemin Zhou Et Al. (2010)

N-acyl homoserine lactones (ALHs) to coordinate this behaviour - an early hint that bacteria are a talkative bunch. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In their system, a promoter DNA sequence (P luxI) drives the production of LuxI, an enzyme that synthesizes the quorum-sensing signal acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL). ❋ Martin Fussenegger (2010)

"The quorum-quenching N-acyl homoserine lactone acylase PvdQ is an Ntn-hydrolase with an unusual substrate-binding pocket." ❋ Unknown (2009)

Quorum sensing (via signals such as acyl-homoserine lactones) to act cooperatively. this would be group selection I'd say. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It said that levels of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) in foods could explain the shelf life of certain products as they act as natural antimicrobials, and further quorum sensing ❋ Staff Reporter (2009)
