Abstract
In this study it was shown that the quorum sensing system of Serratia plymuthica RVH1 influences spoilage of carrot slices. An AHL-negative mutant was severly attenuated in its ability to spoil these vegetables. Complementation with synthetic signal molecules restored the wild type phenotypes. Differences in spoilage could not be explained by differences in bacterial numbers as CFU/ml were the same for the different strains.
