Our initial project aim was to express a single protein, CqsA, the cholera autoinducer synthase. CAI-1, the cholera autoinducer is known to cause a population wide shift to avirulence in virulent strains of V. cholerae. Although not all of the possible effects of CAI-1 on every organism are known, it is currently thought not to be of significant concern to researcher, public or environmental safety.
