Abstract

Strigolactones are plant hormones with multiple roles that act as signaling molecules in many processes in the rhizosphere. In recent years, additional roles of strigolactones in nature have emerged, and here we report that strigolactones are able to modulate bacterial quorum sensing (QS) in the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae.
