Bacterial Quorum Sensing and Microbial Community Interactions
mBio, 2018 Many bacteria use a cell-cell communication system called quorum sensing to coordinate population density-dependent changes in behavior. Quorum sensing involves production of and response to diffusible or secreted signals, which can vary substantially ...

Inactivation of MexT in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 destabilizes cooperation and favors the emergence of a unique quorum sensing variant [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyPseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, uses a cell-cell signaling system called quorum sensing to coordinate group behaviors. Quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa is a model to study cooperative behaviors in populations.
