Fig. 1.

The signal molecule detection of AHL. A, Detection the ability of C83902/pyenI to synthesize short side chain AHL by reporter strain CV026. B, Detection the ability of C83902/plasI to synthesize long side chain AHL by reporter strain JZA1. C6-HSL and 3OC12-HSL were used as positive controls.

The growth curves of C83902 and its recombinant strains under endogenous (A), and exogenous AHLs influence (B).

Fig. 3.

Quantitative test of biofilm formation of C83902 and its recombinant strains under endogenous (A) and exogenous AHLs influence (B).
