N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone
Short-Chained AHL
N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a short-chain N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) that functions as a key mediator in bacterial quorum-sensing regulation. It plays a significant role as an intercellular signaling molecule among Gram-negative bacteria, influencing critical biological activities including biofilm formation, pigment synthesis, and antibiotic production. Additionally, N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone has been shown to enhance lipid accumulation in algae, making it valuable for research in microbial interactions and biotechnological applications.
