a

Gene number from the Pseudomonas genome project (http://www.pseudomonas.com).

b

Maximum changes in gene expression (rounded to two significant figures) in the signal generation mutant in the presence of the signal(s) indicated compared with the absence of signal and in the wild-type P. aeruginosa strain compared with the receptor mutant. The values in parentheses are the OD600 at which the earliest change of ≥2.5-fold was observed (for the signal generation mutant both time courses were considered).

c

There is a las-rhl box-like sequence with an HI of ≥10 and <13.
