Abstract:Background
Defining interactions of bacteria in the rhizosphere (area near and on the plant root) is important to understand how they affect plant health. Some rhizosphere bacteria, including plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) engage in the intraspecies communication known as quorum sensing (QS). Many use the extracellular autoinducer signal molecule N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) and other rhizobacteria, including PGPR, can interfere or disrupt QS through quorum quenching (QQ). Traditional AHL bios… Show more
