2-Heptyl-4-quinolone
Swarming Motility Modulator
2-Heptyl-4-quinolone is a swarming motility modulator that serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS). It enhances swarming behavior by positively regulating the production of phenazine compounds, specifically inducing phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA). This compound is valuable for research in bacterial behavior, biofilm formation, and microbial communication pathways.
