Information processing and signal integration in bacterial quorum sensing
Abstract Bacteria communicate using secreted chemical signaling molecules called autoinducers in a process known as quorum sensing. The quorum‐sensing network of the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi uses three autoinducers, each known to encode distinct ecological information. Yet how cells integrate...
