Detection of <it>N</it>-acyl homoserine lactones using a <it>traI</it>-<it>luxCDABE</it>-based biosensor as a high-throughput screening tool
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Bacteria use <it>N</it>-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules to regulate the expression of genes in a density-dependent manner. Several biosensors have been developed and engineered to detect the presence of all types...
