Role of specific quorum-sensing signals in the regulation of exopolysaccharide II production within Sinorhizobium meliloti spreading colonies.

BackgroundQuorum sensing (QS) in Sinorhizobium meliloti involves at least half a dozen different N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) signals.These signals are produced by SinI, the sole AHL synthase in S.meliloti Rm8530.The sinI gene is regulated by two LuxR-type transcriptional regulators, SinR and ExpR.Mutations in sinI, sinR and expR abolish the pro
