Quorum Sensing Signals Alter in vitro Soil Virus Abundance and Bacterial Community Composition

Cell-density dependent quorum sensing (QS) is fundamental for many coordinated behaviors among bacteria. Most recently several studies have revealed a role for bacterial QS communication in bacteriophage (phage) reproductive decisions. However, QS based phage-host interactions remain largely unknown...
