Abstract

The physiological and ecological role for the luxS gene in Lactobacillus reuteri 100-23C is defined by constructing a luxS mutant by insertional mutagenesis. The results show that LuxS influences important ecological attributes of L. reuteri 100-23C, the consequences of which are niche specific.
