Quorum sensing modulates colony morphology through alkyl quinolones in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:

Gupta, Rashmi and Schuster, Martin

Abstract:

Background: Acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) and alkyl quinolone (AQ) based quorum-sensing (QS) systems are important for Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence and biofilm formation. The effect of QS on biofilm formation is influenced by various genetic and environmental factors. Here, we used a colony biofilm assay to study the effect of the central...
