Overexpression of luxS Cannot Increase Autoinducer-2 Production, Only Affect the Growth and Biofilm Formation in Streptococcus suis
LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing (QS) system involves the production of cell signaling molecules via luxS-based autoinducer-2 (AI-2). LuxS has been reported to plays critical roles in regulating various behaviors of bacteria. AI-2 is a byproduct of the catabolism of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) performed by...
