In the opportunistic pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa acyl-homoserine lactone quorum sensing (QS) can activate expression of dozens to hundreds of genes depending on the strain under investigation. Many QS-activated genes code for extracellular products. P. aeruginosa has become a model for studies of cell-cell communication and coordination of cooperative activities, which result from production of extracellular products. We hypothesized that strain variation in the size of the QS regulon might reflect the environmental history of an isolate. We tested the hypothesis by performing long-term growth experiments with the well-studied strain PAO1, which has a relatively large QS regulon, under conditions where only limited QS-controlled functions are required. We grew P. aeruginosa for about 1000 generations in a condition where expression of QS-activated genes was required, and emergence of QS mutants was constrained and compared the QS regulons of populations after 35 generations to those after about 1000 generations in two independent lineages by using quorum quenching and RNA-seq technology. In one lineage the number of QS-activated genes identified was reduced by over 60% and in the other by about 30% in 1000-generation populations compared to 35-generation populations. Our results provide insight about the variations in the number of QS-activated genes reported for different P. aeruginosa environmental and clinical isolates and, about how environmental conditions might influence social evolution.
