^b H: hypothesized; nd: not determined; Q: questioned;

^c +: successful complementation; -: unsuccessful complementation; nd: not determined; AI-2: complementation with pure autoinducer; DPD: complementation with precursor; SN: complementation with co-culture or conditioned supernatants of luxS-positive strain.
