Vibrio (Aliivibrio) fischeri's initial rise to fame derived from its alluring production of blue-
green light. Subsequent studies to probe the mechanisms underlying this bioluminescence …

Quorum sensing is an intercellular signaling mechanism that enables bacterial cells to
coordinate population‐level behaviors. How quorum sensing functions in natural habitats …

Vibrio fischeri is a remarkable Gram-negative marine bacterium. First, it emits light when it
colonizes the fish or squid organs dedicated to this purpose. Second, it turns this light on …

The bioluminescence emitted by the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri is a particularly striking
result of individual microbial cells co‐ordinating a group behaviour. The genes responsible …

As our understanding of the human microbiome progresses, so does the need for natural
experimental animal models that promote a mechanistic understanding of beneficial …

Although most Vibrio fischeri isolates are capable of symbiosis, the coevolution of certain
strains with the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, has led to specific adaptation to …

The Hawaiian bobtail squid's Vibrio fischeri symbionts use quorum sensing for both
bioluminescence and to modulate antagonism. New research finds quorum sensing …

Vibrio fischeri is a bioluminescent, Gram-negative marine bacterium that can be found free
living and in a mutualistic association with certain squids and fishes. Over the past decades …

The association between Euprymna scolopes, the Hawaiian bobtail squid, and Vibrio
fischeri, a bioluminescent bacterium, has served as a model for beneficial symbioses for …

Bacteria successfully colonize distinct niches because they can sense and appropriately
respond to a variety of environmental signals. Of particular interest is how a bacterium …
