Influence of BDSF on QS systems of P. aeruginosa . Effect of BDSF on the growth rate of P. aeruginosa PA14 (A), and on the transcriptional expression of lasR (B), pqsR (C), and rhlR (D), as determined by using corresponding promoter-lacZ fusion reporter strains. The data are the means of three repeats and error bars indicate the standard deviations.
