Journal of bacteriology, 1997•Am Soc MicrobiolDifferent 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.
