Cross-species induction of luminescence in the quorum-sensing bacterium Vibrio harveyi

BL Bassler, EP Greenberg and AM Stevens
Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University, New Jersey 08544- 1014, USA. bbassler@molbiol.princeton.edu

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.
