Abstract excerpt
By secretion and detection of a series of signaling molecules, bacteria are able to coordinate gene expression as a community, to regulate a variety of important phenotypes, from virulence factor production to biofilm formation to symbiosis related behaviours such as bioluminescence. This widespread signaling mechanism is called quorum sensing. There are several quorum sensing systems described in Serratia....
