The ComX Quorum Sensing Peptide of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Affects Biofilm Formation Negatively and Sporulation Positively

The ComX Quorum Sensing Peptide of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Affects Biofilm Formation Negatively and Sporulation Positively

Quorum sensing (QS) is often required for the formation of bacterial biofilms and is a popular target of biofilm control strategies. Previous studies implicate the ComQXPA quorum sensing system of <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> as a promoter of biofilm formation. Here, we report that ComX sign...
