Quorum sensing is one of the coolest things we've learned about this semester, because it is one way that bacterial cells can actually communicate with each other. Which are true about Quorum Sensing? (Choose all that apply.) Group of answer choices Quorum sensing depends on the sensing of signal protein molecules. Quorum sensing is a synonym for biofilms. Quorum sensing allows bacteria to monitor their own population density. Quorum sensing is present almost exclusively in non-pathogenic bacteria and does not contribute to virulence.

Microbial Physiology

Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.

Chemotaxis

The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.
