Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing (QS) coordinates collective bacterial behavior, yet how individuality arises within a system built to unify action remains unclear. Using imaging-transcriptomics, we profile the QS response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at single-cell resolution and uncover heterogeneity across all stages of QS. We find that most cells cooperate, but their contributions vary widely due to transcriptional noise. In...
