Lack of genomic evidence of AI-2 receptors suggests a non-quorum sensing role for luxS in most bacteria

BACKGROUND: Great excitement accompanied discoveries over the last decade in several Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria of the LuxS protein, which catalyzes production of the AI-2 autoinducer molecule for a second quorum sensing system (QS-2). Since the luxS gene was found to be widespread amo...
