Quorum sensing (QS) is a microbial cell-to-cell communication process that relies on the
production and detection of chemical signals called autoinducers (AIs) to monitor cell …

▪ Abstract Quorum sensing is the regulation of gene expression in response to fluctuations in
cell-population density. Quorum sensing bacteria produce and release chemical signal …

It has become increasingly and widely recognised that bacteria do not exist as solitary cells,
but are colonial organisms that exploit elaborate systems of intercellular communication to …

Bacteria communicate with one another using chemical signaling molecules as words.
Specifically, they release, detect, and respond to the accumulation of these molecules …

Quorum sensing (QS), a type of chemical communication, allows bacteria to sense and
coordinate activities in natural biofilm communities using N-acyl homoserine lactones …

Members of the rhizobia are distinguished for their ability to establish a nitrogen-fixing
symbiosis with leguminous plants. While many details of this relationship remain a mystery …

Bacteria orchestrate collective behaviors and accomplish feats that would be unsuccessful if
carried out by a lone bacterium. Processes undertaken by groups of bacteria include …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains two transcription regulators (LasR and RhlR) that, when
complexed with their specific autoinducers (3-oxo-dodecanoyl-homoserine lactone and …

LuxR‐type transcriptional regulators play key roles in quorum‐sensing systems that employ
acyl‐homoserine lactones (acyl‐HSLs) as signal molecules. These proteins mediate …

ABSTRACT The LasR-dependent and RhlR-dependent quorum-sensing systems are global
regulators of gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Previous studies have …
