Abstract
- A cryptic plasmid of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 was found to encode tslI, a truncated luxI homolog. tslI was shown to be expressed and to control transcription of the acyl-homoserine lactone (HSL) synthase gene msaI and thus, indirectly, acyl-HSL production. In addition, tslI was found to positively regulate extracellular polysaccharide production.
