Different species of bacteria were tested for production of extracellular autoinducer-like activities that could stimulate the expression of the luminescence genes in Vibrio harveyi. Several species of bacteria, including the pathogens Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, were found to produce such activities. Possible physiological roles for the two V. harveyi detection-response systems and their joint regulation are discussed.
测试了不同种类的细菌,以检测其是否产生细胞外类自诱导物活性,这种活性可能刺激哈维氏弧菌中发光基因的表达。包括霍乱弧菌和副溶血性弧菌等病原体在内的几种细菌被发现具有这种活性。文中还讨论了哈维氏弧菌的两种检测 - 响应系统及其联合调控可能的生理作用。
