Quorum sensing (QS) is a collective behavior whereby actions of individuals depend on the
density of the surrounding population. Bacteria use QS to trigger secretion of digestive …

For centuries it was thought that bacteria live asocial lives. However, recent discoveries
show many species of bacteria communicate in order to perform tasks previously thought to …

Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) systems are cell density—dependent regulatory networks
that coordinate bacterial behavioural changes from single cellular organisms at low cell …

Quorum Sensing (QS), a wonderful natural method to regulate gene expressions in
response to the fluctuation in the cell density of a given bacterial population and provides …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of bacterial communication and cooperation mediated by
the release of jointly exploited signals and “public goods” into the environment. There are …

Traditional treatment of bacterial infections relies heavily on the use of antibacterial
compounds that either kill bacteria (bactericidal) or inhibit their growth (bacteriostatic) …

When the Hawaiian bobtail squid rises from the sand each evening to hunt, it swims cloaked
from detection by predators and prey because it casts no moonlight shadow, a trick it owes …

Bacteria use a chemical communication process called quorum sensing (QS) to control
collective behaviours such as pathogenesis and biofilm formation 1, 2. QS relies on the …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a population-density dependent chemical process that enables
bacteria to communicate based on the production, secretion and sensing of small inducer …

Numerous bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) to synchronize their behavior and monitor
their population density. They use signaling molecules known as autoinducers (AI's) that are …
