Discovery of a Nitric Oxide Responsive Quorum Sensing Circuit in <i>Vibrio cholerae</i>
30 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Group behavior of the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae, including biofilm formation and virulence factor secretion, is mediated by a process known as quorum sensing. Quorum sensing is a way by which bacteria coordinate gene expression in response to population density through the production, secretion, and detection of small molecules called autoinducers. Four autoinducer-mediated receptor histidine kinases have...
