Complete Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca Reveals a Triplicate Quorum-Sensing Mechanism for Regulation of Phenazine Production.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca StFRB508 regulates phenazine production through N-acyl-l-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing. Two sets of AHL-synthase and AHL-receptor genes, phzI/phzR and aurI/aurR, have been identified from the incomplete draft genome of StFRB508. In the present study, the complete genome of StFRB508, comprising a single chromosome of 6,997,933 bp, was sequenced. The complete genome sequence revealed the presence of a third quorum-sensing gene set, designated as csaI/csaR. An LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that StFRB508 produced six types of AHLs, with the most important AHL being N-(3-hydroxyhexanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone (3-OH-C6-HSL). PhzI mainly catalyzed the biosynthesis of 3-OH-C6-HSL, while AurI and CsaI catalyzed that of N-hexanoyl-l-homoserin
