Talk this way: Different bacteria use identical quorum sensing (QS) signals to regulate important cell‐density dependent phenotypes. Herein, we show that non‐native compounds previously identified as QS modulators in one species can be reappropriated to regulate QS in alternate bacteria that utilize the same native signal. These results considerably broaden the species range of the known non‐native QS
这样说吧:不同的细菌使用相同的群体感应 (QS) 信号来调节重要的细胞密度依赖性表型。在此,我们表明,先前在一个物种中被鉴定为 QS 调节剂的非天然化合物可以重新用于调节利用相同天然信号的替代细菌中的 QS。这些结果大大拓宽了已知的非天然 QS 调节剂的种类范围。
