Abstract
Different species of bacteria were tested for production of extracellular autoinducer-like
activities that could stimulate the expression of the luminescence genes in Vibrio
harveyi. Several species of bacteria, including the pathogens Vibrio cholerae and
Vibrio parahaemolyticus, were found to produce such activities. Possible physiological
roles for the two V. harveyi detection-response systems and their joint regulation
are discussed.
