Bacterial Quorum Sensing Allows Graded and Bimodal Cellular Responses to Variations in Population Density

Bacterial Quorum Sensing Allows Graded and Bimodal Cellular Responses to Variations in Population Density

ABSTRACT Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism of cell-cell communication that connects gene expression to environmental conditions (e.g., cell density) in many bacterial species, mediated by diffusible signal molecules. Current functional studies focus on qualitatively distinct QS ON/OFF states. In th...
