268. Construction and analysis of luxCDABE-based plasmid sensors for investigating N-acylhomoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing
269. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectins PA-IL and PA-IIL are controlled by quorum sensing and RpoS
270. Quorum-sensing acts at initiation of chromosomal replication in Escherichia coli
271. Transfer and function of T-DNA genes from Agrobacterium Ti and Ri plasmids in plants
272. A diffusible compound can enhance conjugal transfer of the Ti plasmid in Agrobacterium tumefaciens
273. Agrobacterium conjugation and gene regulation by N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones
274. Activity of the quorum-sensing regulator TraR of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is inhibited by a truncated, dominant defective TraR-like protein
275. Autoinducer binding by the quorum-sensing regulator TraR increases affinity for target promoters in vitro and decreases TraR turnover rates in whole cells
