Metabolite Identification
Common Name(S)-N-dodecanoyl-HSL
Description(S)-N-dodecanoyl-HSL is a member of the acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HSLs) chemical class, which are signaling molecules involved in quorum sensing among bacteria. This metabolite has been identified in a chemical study focused on acyl-HSLs produced by Enterobacter sakazakii, alongside other related compounds such as (S)-N-heptanoyl-HSL and (S)-N-tetradecanoyl-HSL (PMID:22132860 ). The biological significance of (S)-N-dodecanoyl-HSL is underscored by its role in bacterial communication and regulation of gene expression in response to population density. Furthermore, the biotransformation of (S)-N-dodecanoyl-HSL has been investigated, revealing its conversion into (S)-N-dodecanoyl-homoserine, dodecanoic acid, and homoserine in the presence of Bacillus species, highlighting its potential metabolic pathways and interactions in microbial ecosystems (PMID:22132860 ). This compound exemplifies the complexity of bacterial communication and its implications for understanding microbial behavior and interactions.
