Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-cell communication mechanism among bacterial populations that is regulated through gene expression in response to cell density. The pathogenicity of <i>Xanthomonas campestris</i> pv. <i>campestris</i> (<i>Xcc</i>) is modulated by the diffusible signal factor (DSF)-mediated QS system. DSF is widely conserved in a variety of gram-negative bacterial pathogens. In this study, DSF-degrading bacteria and their enzymes were thoroughly explored as a biocontrol agent against ...[more]
