Abstrakt:

Many bacterial species use small chemical molecules as signaling factors.Signal molecules are released into the environment and once a threshold concentration level has been achieved, they trigger a response in the target cells.This system of cell-cell signaling, termed as “quorum sensing”, plays an important role in the coordination of the growth and other processes in bacterialpopulations. Two types of signaling molecules have been identified: (1) shortpeptides, common to Gram-positive bacteria and (2) carboxy-acid derivativescommonly utilised by Gram-negative bacteria. Bacteria of the genus Streptomycesutilize butyrolactones as signaling molecules and thus form a distinct groupamong Gram-positives. This review focuses on two model regulatory systemsbased on carboxy-acid derivatives; the regulation of bioluminescence in Vibriofisheri and the regulation of streptomycin biosynthesis in Streptomyces griseus.
