To investigate the distribution and significance of the production of N-Acyl-L-homoserine lactones (AHLs) within the Burkholderia cepacia complex, various members of the B. cepacia complex were examind with the aid of bacterial AHL-biosensors. Furthermore, the strains were characterized phenotypically with regard to their ability to synthesize exoproducts. Additionally, a genetic analysis concerning the genes (cepIR) responsible for AHL-production was performed. Finally, the identification of AHL-regulated phenotypes became possible by constructing a defined, AHL-deficient cepI mutant in a B. cepacia strain.
