Degradation mechanism of quorum sensing signal molecule N-acyl homoserine lactone by quorum quenching enzymes. (a) Lactonase open the HSL ring (b) Acylase cleaves the acyl side chain from HSL ring or hydrolyze the amide linkage (c) Oxidoreductase catalyzes the oxidation or reduction of acyl side chain.
