To break the contradiction between aniline and nitrogen metabolism in activated sludge reactor by influencing microbial interspecific communication, Auto-inducer C6-HSL and 3-oxo-C8-HSL were selected in this study to interfere with aniline degradation system. The two Auto-inducers enhanced the aniline degradation rate and ammonia removal efficiency of the systems, especially C6-HSL. Meanwhile, the main ammonia removal way was assimilation. Exogenous Auto-inducer effectively stabilized the sludge structure and activity from the destruction of aniline, and promoted EPS secretion. Microbial diversity analysis showed that most of functional microflora of seed sludge gradually deactivated with the operation of the reactor, while Rhodococcus, Leucobacter, g_norank_f_Saprospiraceae proliferated wildly under the action of Auto-inducer. Additionally, the interspecific relationship also demonstrated a different trend. Exogenous Auto-inducer was proved to exert positive effects on aniline degradation system to a certain extent, providing new insights in the field of aniline wastewater bio-degradation.

Autoinducer 2 (or AI-2) is one of the molecules used by bacteria to trigger the Quorum Sensing (QS) response, which activates expression of genes involved in a series of alternative mechanisms, when cells reach high population densities (including bioluminescence, motility, biofilm formation, stress resistance, and production of public goods, or pathogenicity factors, among others). Contrary to most autoinducers, AI-2 can induce QS responses in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and has been suggested to constitute a trans-specific system of bacterial communication, capable of affecting even bacteria that cannot produce this autoinducer. In this work, we demonstrate that the ethanologenic Gram-negative bacterium (a non-AI-2 producer) responds to exogenous AI-2 by modulating expression of genes involved in mechanisms typically associated with QS in other bacteria, such as motility, DNA repair, and nitrogen fixation.

Background: LuxS may function as a metabolic enzyme or as the synthase of a quorum sensing signalling molecule, auto-inducer-2 (AI-2); hence, the mechanism underlying phenotypic changes upon luxS inactivation is not always clear. In Helicobacter pylori, we have recently shown that, rather than functioning in recycling methionine as in most bacteria, LuxS (along with newly-characterised MccA and MccB), synthesises cysteine via reverse transsulphuration. In this study, we investigated whether and how LuxS controls motility of H.

Background: Quorum sensing is a communication system that regulates gene expression in response to population density and often regulates virulence determinants. Deletion of the luxR homologue vjbR highly attenuates intracellular survival of Brucella melitensis and has been interpreted to be an indication of a role for QS in Brucella infection. Confirmation for such a role was suggested, but not confirmed, by the demonstrated in vitro synthesis of an auto-inducer (AI) by Brucella cultures.

The rhl quorum sensing (QS) circuit of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to regulate the expression of a number of virulence factors. This study investigates the regulation of rhlI, encoding the auto-inducer synthase RhlI responsible for the synthesis of N-butryl-L-homoserine lactone (BHL). A putative RpoN binding site was located upstream, in the promoter region of rhlI.
