YR 2001 UL http://iai.asm.org/content/69/7/4661.abstract AB The distribution of quorum-sensing genes among strains from seven genomovars of the Burkholderia cepaciacomplex was examined by PCR. cepR and cepI were amplified from B. cepacia genomovars I and III, B. stabilis, and B. vietnamiensis. cepR was also amplified from B. multivorans and B. cepacia genomovar VI. bviIR were amplified from B. vietnamiensis. All genomovars producedN-octanoyl-l-homoserine lactone andN-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone.B. vietnamiensis and B. cepacia genomovar VII produced additional N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones.
