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 ...
