Pseudomonas fluorescens MFE01 uses 1-undecene as aerial communication molecule.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial communication is a fundamental process used to synchronize gene expression and collective behavior among the bacterial population. The most studied bacterial communication system is quorum sensing, a cell density system, in which the concentration of inductors increases to a threshold level allowing detection by specific receptors. As a result, bacteria can change their behavior in a coordinated way. While in Pseudomonas quorum sensing based on the synthesis of N-acyl homoserine lactone molecules is well studied, volatile organic compounds, although considered to be communication signals in the rhizosphere, are understudied. The Pseudomonas fluorescens MFE01 strain has a very active type six secretion system that can kill some competitive bacteria. Furthermor
