Quorum sensing provides a molecular mechanism for evolution to tune and maintain investment in cooperation.

The ISME journal - 1 Apr 2021

Bruger Eric L, Snyder Daniel J, Cooper Vaughn S, Waters Christopher M

Abstract excerpt

As selection frequently favors noncooperating defectors in mixed populations with cooperators, mechanisms that promote cooperation stability clearly exist. One potential mechanism is bacterial cell-to-cell communication, quorum sensing (QS), which can allow cooperators to prevent invasion by defectors. However, the impact of QS on widespread maintenance of cooperation in well-mixed conditions has not been...
