Bacterial interspecies and intraspecies communications are mediated by diffusible signaling molecules. In complex natural environments, the fluctuation of geochemical and physical conditions presents substantial challenges to the environmental fate of N-acyl-homoserine lactones. Although researchers have attempted to elucidate the influence of aquatic environmental parameters on bacterial QS signals, insufficient information is known regarding their interactions with soil. Thus, the adsorption of N-(3-oxododecanoyl) homoserine lactone on three ...
