Summary of the LuxS Quorum sensing system of Escherichia coli. Autoinducer-II, represented by pentagons, is formed from a LuxS catalyzed cleavage reaction of S-ribosylhomocysteine to 4,5-dihydroxy 2,3-pentanedione and homocysteine [213]. Key: AIP-II: Autoinducer-II: DPD: 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione. Adapted from Li, 2007 [184].
