===Degradation===

Recently, a well-studied quorum quenching bacterial strain (KM1S) was isolated and its AHL degradation kinetics were studied using rapid resolution liquid [[chromatography]] (RRLC).<ref name="Rapid degradation3">{{cite journal | vauthors = Chan KG, Wong CS, Yin WF, Sam CK, Koh CL | title = Rapid degradation of N-3-oxo-acylhomoserine lactones by a Bacillus cereus isolate from Malaysian rainforest soil | journal = Antonie van Leeuwenhoek | volume = 98 | issue = 3 | pages = 299–305 | date = October 2010 | pmid = 20376561 | doi = 10.1007/s10482-010-9438-0 | s2cid = 12407347 }}</ref> RRLC efficiently separates components of a mixture to a high degree of sensitivity, based on their affinities for different liquid phases.<ref name=":52">{{cite journal | vauthors = Yoshida T, Majors RE | title = High-speed analyses using rapid resolution liquid chromatography on 1.8-microm porous particles | journal = Journal of Separation Science | volume = 29 | issue = 16 | pages = 2421–2432 | date = November 2006 | pmid = 17154122 | doi = 10.1002/jssc.200600267 }}</ref> It was found that the genome of this strain encoded an inactivation enzyme with distinct motifs targeting the degradation of AHLs.<ref name="Rapid degradation3" />
