Quorum sensing (QS) signals are used by bacteria to regulate biological functions in response to cell population densities. Cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) regulates cell functions in response to diverse environmental chemical and physical signals that bacteria perceive. In <i>Burkholderia cenocepacia</i>, the QS signal receptor RpfR degrades intracellular c-di-GMP when it senses the QS signal <i>cis</i>-2-dodecenoic acid, also called <i>Burkholderia</i> diffusible signal factor (BDS ...[more]
