Figure 7.
Relative expression of QQ lactonase genes and α/β hydrolase AidA gene from A. baumannii ATCC17978 in response to OHC12-HSL. The AHL was added at 0 h (for 7 h) or 6 h (for 1 h) of culture growth. Gene expression was normalized related to the rpoB gene. Error bars represent the standard deviations. Asterisks indicate statistically significant changes (Student's t-test, p < 0.05) with respect to the static LB condition.
