| Abstract: | Background The infection and virulence functions of diverse plant and animal pathogens that possess quorum sensing systems are regulated
by N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) acting as signal molecules. AHL-acylase is a quorum quenching enzyme and degrades AHLs by
removing the fatty acid side chain from the homoserine lactone ring of AHLs. This blocks AHL accumulation and pathogenic phenotypes
in quorum sensing bacteria. |
