Bacterial communication mostly relies on homoserine lactone molecules, while unknown species of the human microbiome employ N-acyl amino acids for cross-kingdom interaction with their host. Here we describe an unprecedented bacterium of the maverick phylum Planctomycetes which produces a novel type of N-acyl amino acids as quorum sensing signals. Less...
