Abstract
The analysis of Serratia liquefaciens MG1 'luxAB insertion mutants that are responsive to N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone revealed that expression of lipB is controlled by the swr quorum-sensing system. LipB is part of the Li p exporter, a type I secretion system, which is responsible for the secreti on of extracellular lipase, metalloprotease, and S-layer protein.
