摘要: Acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) play a widespread role in intercellular communication among bacteria. The Australian macroalga Delisea pulchra produces secondary metabolites which have structural similarities to AHL molecules. We report here that these inhibited AHL-controlled processes prokaryotes. Our results suggest the interaction between higher organisms and their surface-associated bacteria may be mediated by interference with bacterial regulatory systems.
