Revealing the Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Effect on the Biofilm Formation of Diatom <i>Cylindrotheca</i> sp. Using Multimodal Imaging
Diatoms contribute to carbon fixation in the oceans by photosynthesis and always form biofouling organized by extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in the marine environment. Bacteria-produced quorum-sensing signal molecules N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) were found to play an important role i...
