Quorum sensing: An imperative longevity weapon in bacteria [PDF]
, 2018 Bacterial cells exhibit a complex pattern of co-operative behaviour as shown by their capacity to communicate amongst each other. Quorum sensing (QS) is a generic term used for bacterial cell-to-cell communication which secures survival of its species ...

Applied Sciences, 2022 Quorum sensing is a density-dependent mechanism using chemical signal molecules termed autoinducers to regulate diverse biological processes in bacteria, including bioluminescence. However, the correlation between growth and light emission of two typical

PLoS Biology, 2019 Vibrio cholerae possesses multiple quorum-sensing (QS) systems that control virulence and biofilm formation among other traits. At low cell densities, when QS autoinducers are absent, V. cholerae forms biofilms.

Antibiotics, 2021 Many intercellular communication processes, known as quorum sensing (QS), are regulated by the autoinducers N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones (AHLs) in Gram-negative bacteria.

Chemical signalling within the rumen microbiome [PDF]
Animal BioscienceRuminants possess a specialized four-compartment forestomach, consisting of the reticulum, rumen, omasum, and abomasum. The rumen, the primary fermentative chamber, harbours a dynamic ecosystem comprising bacteria, protozoa, fungi, archaea, and ...

Quorum sensing as a mechanism to harness the wisdom of the crowds
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 ...

Evaluation of a new high-throughput method for identifying quorum quenching bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Quorum sensing (QS) is a population-dependent mechanism for bacteria to synchronize social behaviors such as secretion of virulence factors. The enzymatic interruption of QS, termed quorum quenching (QQ), has been suggested as a promising alternative ...

LuxS influencesEscherichia colibiofilm formation through autoinducer-2-dependent and autoinducer-2-independent modalities [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2012 Escherichia coli produces biofilms in response to the small molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2), a product of the LuxS enzyme. LuxS is part of the activated methyl cycle and could also affect biofilm development by AI-2-independent effects on metabolism. A luxS deletion mutant of E.
