Peptides as quorum sensing molecules : measurement techniques and obtained levels in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
, 2017 The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated in a cell-density dependent way, a phenomenon called quorum sensing. Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria use this type of communication, though the signal molecules (auto-inducers) used by ...
