The LuxI/LuxR-Type Quorum Sensing System Regulates Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons via Two Mechanisms

Members of the <i>Sphingomonadales</i> are renowned for their ability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of the degradative pathway. Using cross-feeding bioassay, a functional LuxI/LuxR-type acyl-homoserine lactone...
