Biochem/physiol Actions New type of bacterial, quorum sensing signal compound1. Quorum sensing mechanism has been investigated in Rhodopseudomonas palustris, but the signal compound has been discovered in other bacteria such as Bradyrhizobium sp. or Silicibacter pomeroyi. Application N-(p-Coumaroyl)-L-homoserine lactone, or pC-HSL, can be used to study microbiology, quorum sensing and signaling compounds. pC-HSL has been used to study the activity of the Rhodopseudomonas palustris p-coumaroyl-homoserine lactone-responsive transcription factor RpaR. |
