Detection of AI-2 Receptors in Genomes of <em>Enterobacteriaceae </em>Suggests a Role of Type-2 Quorum Sensing in Closed Ecosystems

The LuxS enzyme, an S-ribosyl-homocysteine lyase, catalyzes the production of the signal precursor for autoinducer-2 mediated quorum sensing (QS-2) in <em>Vibrio</em>. Its widespread occurrence among bacteria is often considered the evidence for a universal language for i...
