What Is Quorum Sensing? Individual bacteria use quorum sensing to detect and respond to changes in cell density as a coordinated group. For example, the first reported evidence of quorum sensing was ...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process used by bacteria to coordinate their behavior based on population density. This mechanism plays a crucial role in the formation of biofilms ...

However, research has shown that bacteria communication, also called Quorum sensing, is real, and bacteria do this using ...

This quorum-sensing molecule, made and sensed by some microbes, is used by individual bacterium to sense the presence of other bacteria in their environment. The IGC team’s results point to a ...

Pei is working on a way to “put earplugs” in the algae so that the bacteria cannot communicate with each other to produce toxins. “The proposed research focuses on quorum sensing, the general mode of ...

Tanya Schneider's research interests broadly include the biosynthesis and molecular recognition of natural products, with a current focus on antibiotics and bacterial quorum sensing molecules. Her ...
