Quorum Sensing Signal Selectivity and the Potential for Interspecies Cross Talk

ABSTRACT Many species of proteobacteria communicate with kin and coordinate group behaviors through a form of cell-cell signaling called acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing (QS). Most AHL receptors are thought to be specific for their cognate signal, ensuring that bacteria cooperate and sha...
