Quantifying the integration of quorum-sensing signals with single-cell resolution. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 Cell-to-cell communication in bacteria is a process known as quorum sensing that relies on the production, detection, and response to the extracellular accumulation of signaling molecules called autoinducers.

Optimal census by quorum sensing. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Quorum sensing is the regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density. To measure their cell density, bacterial populations produce and detect diffusible molecules called autoinducers.

Ecological feedback in quorum-sensing microbial populations can induce heterogeneous production of autoinducers [PDF]
eLife, 2017 Autoinducers are small signaling molecules that mediate intercellular communication in microbial populations and trigger coordinated gene expression via ‘quorum sensing’.

The Effect of Anabiosis Autoinducers on the Bacterial Genome [PDF]
Microbiology, 2002 The mutagenic activity of chemical analogues of microbial anabiosis autoinducers (the autoregulatory d1 factors of cell differentiation), which act to inhibit cell proliferation, to enhance cell tolerance, and to induce the transition of cells to anabiotic state, was studied using the Ames test.

Quorum sensing as a mechanism to harness the wisdom of the crowds [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Bacteria release and sense small molecules called autoinducers in a process known as quorum sensing. The prevailing interpretation of quorum sensing is that by sensing autoinducer concentrations, bacteria estimate population density to regulate the ...

The Autoinducer-2 Exporter Superfamily [PDF]
Microbial Physiology, 2010 The TqsA (YdgG) protein of <i>Escherichia coli</i> has been shown to export the autoinducer-2 (AI-2) molecule, a furanosyl borate diester that bears little resemblance to previously characterized biological molecules. TqsA belongs to a large superfamily, the AI-2 exporter (AI-2E) superfamily, of putative transporters with no other ...

Quinolones: from antibiotics to autoinducers [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2011 Since quinine was first isolated, animals, plants and microorganisms producing a wide variety of quinolone compounds have been discovered, several of which possess medicinally interesting properties ranging from antiallergenic and anticancer to antimicrobial activities.
