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 molecule is a key signal in an activity called quorum sensing -- the ability of certain bacteria to perform functions only when they are part of a sufficiently dense population. The discovery, ...

This discovery could be the first step toward human intervention in these signaling ... of the molecule. The result was a microsecond snapshot, the Nature authors say, of quorum sensing in ...

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 ...

Her lab's work on quorum ... onto this molecule. They have receptors—they're like antennae that are on their membranes—that grab onto this molecule. And that is the signal that tells them ...

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 ...

when Bassler’s team identified a new kind of quorum-sensing system in Vibrio cholerae, the bacterium that causes cholera. It secretes a signaling molecule called DPO, which it detects using a ...

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 ...

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 ...
