Quorum sensing is a form of cell–cell communication by which microorganisms synchronise gene expression in response to changes in population density. Through the production, release and detection of ...

Quorum sensing is a population-density-dependent signalling mechanism by which bacteria coordinate gene expression through the secretion and detection of small diffusible molecules. In pathogenic ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is notorious for its role in food spoilage and infections, posing a significant threat to both food safety and human health. Traditionally, antimicrobial agents have been the go ...

Researchers at Caltech have discovered that soil bacteria can alter the way they communicate when phosphorus, a critical ...

A new study from Caltech demonstrates that soil bacteria can adapt under stress, particularly when a key nutrient, phosphorus, is running low in their environment. The work is important for ...
