Summarizes the science and recent research developments of chemical communication among bacteria

Quorum sensing (QS) describes a chemical communication behavior that is nearly universal among bacteria. Individual cells release a diffusible small molecule (a

Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are the key components for the aggregation of microorganisms in biofilms, flocs and sludge. They are composed

Over the past 40 years, quorum sensing (QS)-a type of chemical communication used by common bacteria-has been shown to be play an increasingly important role in

It is generally assumed that microorganisms synthesize, release, detect and respond to small signaling hormone-like molecules. These molecules are used for a pr
