Identification of a Second Type of AHL-lactonase from Rhodococcus sp. BH4, belonging to the α/β Hydrolase Superfamily.

This study affirms that the AHL degrading activity and biofilm inhibition ability of Rhodococcus sp. BH4 may be due to the presence of multiple quorum quenching enzymes, including two types of AHL-lactonases, in addition to AHL-acylase and oxidoreductase, for which the genes have yet to be described.
