Cue-driven microbial cooperation and communication: evolving quorum sensing with honest signaling

Abstract Background Quorum sensing (QS) is the ability of microorganisms to assess local clonal density by measuring the extracellular concentration of signal molecules that they produce and excrete. QS is also the only known way of bacterial communication that supports the coordination of within-cl...
