Autoinduction occurs when the detection of autoinducers induces the increased production of the same autoinducer molecule ... and provide ideal quorum sensing dynamics. Signal integration is ...

But by using a signaling system called “quorum ... "That shows that small-molecule control of quorum sensing is very finely tuned, much more than we even expected." Quorum sensing is present ...

The majority of these systems rely on the internal resources of each cell for the production of the signaling molecule. One of the challenges of quorum sensing systems is that they are hard to ...

1 How Does Quorum Sensing Work? Quorum sensing is mediated by bacteria producing, releasing, and detecting extracellular signaling molecules called autoinducers. Typically, when individual bacteria ...

organizing biofilms and identifying the number of fellow species-members through quorum-sensing signaling molecules. A paper in Science takes this sort of behavior to the next level, suggesting ...

Bacteria achieve this coordination through a process called quorum sensing in which the ... revealed the existence of a new quorum-sensing molecule that increases the virulence of the pathogenic ...

The researchers then tested, in vitro, the effect of adding a quorum-sensing inhibitor from the furanone family. "We showed that this molecule, by reducing the bacterial production of harmful ...

He said he and Bassler have been the two people who have really pushed the importance of quorum sensing in medicine and in general. Bassler came to his lab in the late 1990s to do some experiments ...
