N-Octanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone
QS Signal Molecule
N-Octanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone functions as a quorum-sensing (QS) signal molecule belonging to the N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) family. It plays a critical role in regulating the synthesis of siderophores and is positively correlated with protease secretion in Aeromonas sobria strain AS7. Additionally, N-Octanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone stimulates the production of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), making it valuable for research in microbial communication and metabolic regulation.
