Background Quorum sensing (QS) is a sophisticated cell-to-cell signalling mechanism that
allows the coordination of important processes in microbial populations. The AI-1 and AI-2 …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication system that enables bacteria to
coordinate their gene expression depending on their population density, via the detection of …

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 …

Bacteria employ a cell-to-cell communication process called quorum sensing (QS) to
orchestrate group behaviors like exo-factors and host-adapted traits. The QS machinery in …

To date, microbial diversity is still the least well understood component of biodiversity.
Bacteria are the most abundant microorganisms where most species are often found …

Communication among bacterial cells through quorum-sensing (QS) systems is used to
regulate ecologically and medically important traits, including virulence to hosts. QS is …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism of cell-cell communication mediated by signal
molecules that regulates phenotypes in response to high population density. This process …

Bacteria are able to produce and act in response to minute diffusible molecules called
autoinducers (AI). These molecules amass as cell density enhancements and regulate the …

Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the capacity of bacteria to monitor their population density
and regulate gene expression accordingly: the QS-regulated processes deal with …

Quorum sensing (QS) regulates the onset of bacterial social responses in function to cell
density having an important impact in virulence. Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is a signal that has the …
