Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting and characterizing N-acyl-homoserine lactone signal molecules by thin-layer chromatography
Paul D. Shaw,Gao Ping,Sean L. Daly,Chung Cha,John E. Cronan,Kenneth L. Rinehart,Stephen K. Farrand +6 more
TL;DR: The assay can be used to screen cultures of bacteria for acyl-homoserine lactones, for quantifying the amounts of these molecules produced, and as an analytical and preparative aid in determining the structures of these signal molecules.
Detecting and characterizing N-acyl-homoserine lactone signal molecules by thin-layer chromatography (autoinductionysignaling systemsyquorum sensingygene regulationydetection systems)
Paul D. Shaw,Gao Ping,Sean L. Daly,C Hung Cha,John E. Cronan,K Enneth L. Rinehart,Stephen K. Farrand +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used thin-layer chromatography with detection using Agrobacterium tumefa-ciens harboring lacZ fused to a gene that is regulated by autoinduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: This review focuses on four major areas of research on the fatty acid synthesis pathway of E. coli, and the genes encoding many of these proteins have been cloned, and characterization of these genes has led to a better understanding of the pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acyl homoserine-lactone quorum-sensing signal generation
TL;DR: An analysis of the patterns of product inhibition indicated that RhlI catalyzes signal synthesis by a sequential, ordered reaction mechanism in which S-adenosylmethionine binds toRhlI as the initial step in the enzymatic mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclopropane ring formation in membrane lipids of bacteria.
Dennis W. Grogan,John E. Cronan +1 more
TL;DR: Manipulation of the CFA synthase of Escherichia coli by genetic methods has nevertheless provided valuable insight into the physiology of CFA formation and identified the C FA synthase gene as one of several rpoS-regulated genes of E. coli and provided for the construction of strains in which proposed cellular functions of CFAs can be properly evaluated.
