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.

希瓦氏菌藻类不仅是希瓦氏菌人类感染中最常报道的物种，而且能够栖息于多种生境中。尽管有证据表明群体感应与细菌适应不断变化的环境条件有关，但人们对S中的群体感应系统知之甚少。海藻。在这项研究中，我们进行了S的全基因组测序。藻菌株并应用比较基因组学揭示核心基因组。通过综合的生物信息学分析鉴定了与群体感应系统有关的基因。小号。海藻包含与所有三种主要的自动诱导系统有关的基因。这项研究提供了对S中的群体感应系统的见解。藻类，这可能是在细胞行为今后的学习宝贵的小号。海藻。
