Application

N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-Oxo-C14-HSL), a member of a family of acyl homoserine lactones, may be used to determine its mechanisms and specificity of action as a signaling molecule involved in the regulation of bacterial quorum sensing.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acyl homoserine lactone used as an autoinducer of quorum signaling by Sinorhizobium meliloti, Yersinia enterocolitica, and other Gram-negative bacteria.
N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C14-HSL) is among a group of homoserine lactones that includes N-octanoyl-homoserine lactone (N-C8-HSL), N-(3-oxodecanoyl) homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C10 HSL), N-(3-oxododecanoyl)homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C12-HSL), N-(3-hydroxydecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone, and N-(3-hydroxyoctanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone involved in the processes of bacterial quorum sensing. These homoserine lactones are used to study the processes and mechanisms of bacterial quorum sensing.
