The He Yawen team of Shanghai Jiaotong University and relevant researchers from all over the world published a review article on "Intraspecific, Interspecific and Cross-border Signal Exchange Mediated by Group Induction Signal DSF"

Recently, The International Authoritative Review Journal of Microbiology, Trends in Microbiology, published a review article by Professor He Yawen's team at the School of Life Science and Technology of Shanghai Jiao Tong University" entitled "DSF-family quorum sensing signal-mediated intraspecies, interspecies, and.

DSF (Diffusible signaling factor) signaling molecules are a class of medium-chain cisunsaturated fatty acids produced by a variety of Gram-negative bacteria (Figure 1

DSF-producing bacteria are also able to use DSF signaling to conduct interspecific communication with other bacteria (Figure 4), including Burkholderia spp.

DSF-producing bacteria can also carry out transboundary signal exchanges with eukaryotes (Figure 5
