Figure 5From: Characterization of N-acylhomoserine lactone-degrading bacteria associated with the Zingiber officinale (ginger) rhizosphere: Co-existence of quorum quenching and quorum sensing in Acinetobacter and BurkholderiaQuenching of the pectinolytic activity of Er. carotovora by ginger rhizosphere strains. The ability of GG2, GG4 and Se14 to reduce Er. carotovora-mediated soft rot in potato tuber tissues in co-culture was compared with the parent Erwinia strain in monoculture and, as negative controls, either the AHL-negative Er. carotovora mutant PNP22 or saline.Back to article page
