C2-HSL, N-Acetyl-L-hoMoserine lactone

 C2-HSL, N-Acetyl-L-hoMoserine lactone  CAS: 51524-71-1

N-Acetyl-L-hoMoserine lactone (AHL) is a chemical compound with the CAS number 51524-71-1 and molecular formula C6H9NO3. It belongs to a class of compounds known as acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are used by many species of Gram-negative bacteria for cell-to-cell communication, also known as quorum sensing.

AHLs act as signaling molecules that allow bacteria to coordinate their behavior and regulate gene expression in response to changes in population density. This enables them to carry out group activities such as biofilm formation, virulence factor production, and antibiotic resistance.

AHLs are also of interest in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, as they have potential applications in the development of new antimicrobial agents, as well as in the production of bioplastics and biofuels.
