Production of acyl-AHLs by A. ferrooxidans cells grown in sulfur. The correlation between growth phase and AHL amount was analyzed. AHLs were extracted from the culture medium with dichloromethane during the early exponential (S1) and stationary (S2) phases. The relative quantities of the large-acyl-chain AHLs produced are shown in the inset.
