摘要


Quorum sensing (QS) and signal molecules used for interspecies communication are well defined in mesophiles, but there is still a plethora of microorganisms in which existence and mechanisms of QS need to be explored, thermophiles being among them. In silico analysis has revealed the presence of autoinducer-2 (AI-2) class of QS signaling molecules in thermophiles, synthesized by LuxS (AI-2 synthase), though the functions of this system are not known. In this study, LuxS of Meiothermus ruber was used for understanding the mechanism and functions of AI-2 based QS among thermophilic bacteria. The luxS gene of M. ruber was expressed in luxS- deletion mutant of Escherichia coli. Complementation of luxS resulted in significant AI-2 activity, enhanced biofilm formation, and antibiotic susceptibility. Transcriptome analysis showed significant differential expression of 204 genes between the luxS-complemented and luxS- deletion mutant of E. coli. Majority of the genes regulated by luxS belonged to efflux pumps. This elucidation may contribute towards finding novel alternatives against incessant antibiotic resistance in bacteria.Key Points• Expression of luxS in luxS-E. coli resulted in increase in biofilm index. • Reduction in the MIC of antibiotics was observed after complementation of luxS. • Downregulation of efflux pump genes was observed after complementation of luxS. • Transcriptome analysis showed that 204 genes were differentially regulated significantly.
