Characterization of <it>N</it>-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading bacteria associated with the <it>Zingiber officinale </it>(ginger) rhizosphere: Co-existence of quorum quenching and quorum sensing in <it>Acinetobacter </it>and <it>Burkholderia</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cell-to-cell communication (quorum sensing (QS)) co-ordinates bacterial behaviour at a population level. Consequently the behaviour of a natural multi-species community is likely to depend at least in part on co-existing QS and quoru...
