Description
N-butyryl-L-Homoserine lactone-d
5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of N-butyryl-L-homoserine lactone by GC- or LC-MS. N-butyryl-L-Homoserine lactone is a quorum-sensing signaling molecule produced by
P. aeruginosa.
1 It induces expression of the virulence genes
lasB and
rhlA in
P. aeruginosa when used at a concentration of 10 μM.
2 N-butyryl-L-Homoserine lactone (50 μM) induces rhamnolipid accumulation in
P. aeruginosa growth media.
