Uses
cis-11-Methyl-2-dodecenoic acid regulates virulence in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. It also is structurally and functionally related to farnesoic acid (FA), which regulates morphological transition and virulence by Candida albicans, a fungal pathogen.
Uses
Diffusible signal factor (
cis-11-methyl-2-dodecenoic acid, DSF) is used to study cell-cell communication by pathogenic bacteria such as
Xanthomonas campestris pv. Campestris (Xcc). DSF is involved in the synchronization of virulence gene expression and biofilm dispersal.
