"This study is a testament to the unexpected connections between plant biology and microbiology." Scientists make astonishing ...
Finally, biofilm-forming bacteria use chemical communication, called quorum sensing, to coordinate their metabolism (Camilli and Bassler 2006). Bacteria release chemical signals that are sensed by ...
Bacteria respond to this danger signal by producing a small signaling molecule known as c-di-GMP, which triggers biofilm formation. Biofilms are complex, three-dimensional structures of living ...
Researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm.
"Biofilms are like fortresses for bacteria ... "It's thrilling to think a molecule that plants use to signal stress might one day help humans combat bacterial threats." ...
