Acetyl-L-homoserine lactone is a polar mediator of cell-to-cell interactions in bacterial biofilms. Acylhomoserine lactones have been detected in hundreds of bacterial species and the homoserine lactones are the major chemical modulators of, within, and between cell communication and regulation. Acetyl-L-homoserine lactone may serve as a polar negative control for quorum sensing events.
