The Vibrio harveyi autoinducer-2 (AI-2) bioassay is used routinely to screen for inhibition of the AI-2 quorum sensing system. The present study utilizes three well-described bacterial strains to demonstrate that inconsistent normalization across matrices undermines the assay's use in screening marine samples for AI-2 inhibition.
哈维氏弧菌自动诱导物-2(AI-2)生物测定法被常规用于筛选 AI-2 群体感应系统的抑制作用。本研究利用三种描述明确的细菌菌株证明,基质间不一致的归一化会破坏该测定法在筛选海洋样本中 AI-2 抑制作用的用途。
