Abstract
Some bacteria use acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signals in quorum sensing, a type of cell-cell communication. Here, we present “RefAHL,” an updated, curated collection of LuxI-type AHL synthases with their AHL products and associated metadata. RefAHL is publicly available as a community resource to help catalog LuxI-type diversity encoded in (meta) genomic data.
