Abstract

LuxS catalyzes the synthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecule autoinducer 2. We show that in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, deletion of the luxS gene polarizes flagellar phase variation toward the more immunogenic phase 1 flagellin. This phenotype is complementable by luxS in trans but is independent of quorum-sensing signals. Copyright © 2008, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.
