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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
