Quorum Sensing and Spoilage Potential of Psychrotrophic Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Milk

Figure 5

Representative thin-layer chromatograms of the signal molecules present in cell-free supernatants of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from cooled raw milk and cultivated in LB medium. The spots were detected with C. violaceum CV026 reporter strain. Standards: N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (OHHL); N-(butanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (BHL); N-(octanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (OHL); N-(hexanoyl)-DL-homoserine lactone (HHL). (059) H. alvei, (067) Enterobacter sp., (068) H. alvei, (039) Pantoea sp., (099) A. hydrophila, and (071) H. alvei.
