N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone,

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-Oxo-C14-HSL), a member of a family of acyl homoserine lactones, may be used to determine its mechanisms and specificity of action as a signaling molecule involved in the regulation of bacterial quorum sensing.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C14-HSL) is among a group of homoserine lactones that includes N-octanoyl-homoserine lactone (N-C8-HSL), N-(3-oxodecanoyl) homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C10 HSL), N-(3-oxododecanoyl)homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C12-HSL), N-(3-hydroxydecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone, and N-(3-hydroxyoctanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone involved in the processes of bacterial quorum sensing. These homoserine lactones are used to study the processes and mechanisms of bacterial quorum sensing.

Acyl homoserine lactone used as an autoinducer of quorum signaling by Sinorhizobium meliloti, Yersinia enterocolitica, and other Gram-negative bacteria.
