| Abstract: | Shewanella algae is not only the most commonly reported species in Shewanella human infections but also capable to inhabit a wide variety of habitats. Although there is evidence that quorum sensing is associated with bacterial adaptation to changing environmental conditions, little is known of the quorum sensing system in S. algae. In this study, we conducted the whole genome sequencing of S. algae strains and applied comparative genomics to reveal the core genome. Genes related to the quorum sensing system were identified by integrated bioinformatics analysis. S. algae harbor genes involved in all three main types of autoinducer systems. This study provides insights into the quorum sensing systems in S. algae, which might be valuable in the future study of cell behavior in S. algae. |
