Additionally, the squid's ability to maintain a stable population of V. fischeri within its light organ is facilitated by quorum sensing, a communication method used by bacteria to coordinate ...

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 ...

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 ...
