Eukaryotic interference with homoserine lactone-mediated prokaryotic signalling

Acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) play a widespread role in intercellular communication among bacteria. The Australian macroalga Delisea pulchra produces secondary metabolites which have structural similarities to AHL molecules. We report here that these metabolites inhibited AHL-controlled processes in prokaryotes. Our results suggest that the interaction between higher organisms and their surface- associated bacteria may be mediated by interference with bacterial regulatory systems.
