LuxT controls specific quorum-sensing-regulated behaviors in Vibrionaceae spp. via repression of qrr1, encoding a small regulatory RNA.
Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of chemical communication bacteria use to transition between individual and collective behaviors.QS depends on the production, release, and synchronous response to signaling molecules called autoinducers (AIs).The marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi monitors AIs using a signal transduction pathway that relies on five sm
