Quorum sensing
The Quorum Sensing is a set of mechanisms involved of communication use by bacterial population to regulate their behavior. Conversely, bacteria use the quorum quenching to blur the quorum sensing of other bacterial population. Xylella fastidiosa communicates by quorum sensing to coordinate the biofilm production and bacterial virulence with fatty acids , who have the particularly to be unsaturated in 2 cis.
The 2-cis-decanoic acid inhibits the induction of genes depending on the quorum sensing of Xylella fastidiosa. This fatty acid is produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa under stress for degrade the biofilm of other organism.
