Success in nature depends upon an ability to perceive and adapt to the surrounding
environment. Bacteria are not an exception; they recognize and constantly adjust to …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) regulated by quorum sensing (QS) could directly
mediate adhesion between microorganisms and form tight microbial aggregates. Besides …

As a frequently used product with antimicrobial activity, consumed allicin might be
discharged and concentrated in waste-activated sludge (WAS). However, the influence of …

Quorum sensing exists widely in all kinds of microorganisms and is a communication
channel for microorganisms. Many bacterial processes, including virulence factor …

In nature, quorum sensing is one of the mechanisms bacterial populations use to
communicate with their own species or across species to coordinate behaviours. For the last …

Background: Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication mechanism that occurs
between inter-and intra-bacterial species and is regulated by signaling molecules called …

Quorum sensing is a cell density-dependent signaling phenomenon used by bacteria for
coordination of population-wide phenotypes, such as expression of virulence genes …

Small molecules that can attenuate bacterial toxin production or biofilm formation have the
potential to solve the bacteria resistance problem. Although several molecules, which inhibit …

Bacteria can migrate in groups of flagella‐driven cells over semisolid surfaces. This
coordinated form of motility is called swarming behavior. Swarming is associated with …

Quorum sensing (QS), a bacterial process that regulates population-scale behavior, is
mediated by small signaling molecules, called autoinducers (AIs), that are secreted and …
