Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell chemical communication that relies on
the production, detection and response to extracellular signalling molecules called …

This Review highlights how we can build upon the relatively new and rapidly developing
field of research into bacterial quorum sensing (QS). We now have a depth of knowledge …

Bacteria often live within matrix-embedded communities, termed biofilms, which are now
understood to be a major mode of microbial life. The study of biofilms has revealed their vast …

Bacteria are highly interactive and possess an extraordinary repertoire of intercellular
communication and social behaviors, including quorum sensing (QS). QS has been studied …

Background is provided on biofilms, including their formation, tolerance mechanisms,
structure, and morphology within the context of chronic wounds. The features of biofilms in …

The ecological and evolutionary study of community formation, diversity, and stability is
rooted in general theory and reinforced by decades of system-specific empirical work …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread process in bacteria that employs autoinducing
chemical signals to coordinate diverse, often cooperative activities such as …

The field of ecology has long recognized two types of competition: exploitative competition,
which occurs indirectly through resource consumption, and interference competition …

Bacterial biofilms occur in many natural and industrial environments. Besides bacteria,
biofilms comprise over 70 wt% water. Water in biofilms occurs as bound-or free-water …

Covering: up to 2015 In recent years, bacterial interspecies interactions mediated by small
molecule natural products have been found to give rise to a surprising array of phenotypes …
