C7-HSL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

N-Heptanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL) can regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia and Salmonella, and are involved in quorum sensing, cell to cell communication among bacteria.

Definition

ChEBI: N-Heptanoylhomoserine lactone is a N-acyl-amino acid.

Biological Activity

N-Heptanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia and Salmonella, and are involved in quorum sensing, cell to cell communication among bacteria; for reviews see. Bacterial intercellular communication has become a target for the development of new anti-virulence drugs, and a research focus for the prevention of biofilm formation.', 'Quorum-sensing signal generation
