Chapter 14.5, Problem 2.1RIA
Summary Introduction
Cell to cell communication plays an important role in gene regulation whose products are required for the establishment of its symbiosis, biofilm production, virulence, and morphological difference in a wide bacterial range. A cell to cell communication that was mediated by small signaling molecules such as N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) within the microbial population is referred to as quorum sensing. The mechanism of quorum sensing varies among microbes.
