N-Acyl homoserine lactone
text:
N-Acyl homoserine lactones are a class of signaling molecules involved in bacterial quorum sensing, a means of communication between bacteria enabling behaviors based on population density. The first AHL was found as the natural inducer of bioluminescence in the bacterium Vibrio fischeri. Quorum sensing by the means of AHLs contributes to regulate the transcription of specific genes and therefore expression of specific phenotypes, including growth, virulence, biofilm formation, bioluminescence,
