N-(3-Oxopentanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone
Autoinducer
N-(3-Oxopentanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone is an autoinducer involved in bacterial quorum sensing. This signaling molecule diffuses across bacterial membranes and accumulates within cells at high densities, influencing gene expression linked to the LuxR protein in Vibrio fischeri. It serves as a valuable tool for investigating quorum sensing mechanisms and their biological implications in microbial communication and gene regulation.
