Bioluminescence is the fascinating natural phenomenon by which living creatures produce
light. Bioluminescence occurs when the oxidation of a small-molecule luciferin is catalysed …

Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell chemical communication that relies on
the production, detection and response to extracellular signalling molecules called …

This Review highlights how we can build upon the relatively new and rapidly develo**
field of research into bacterial quorum sensing (QS). We now have a depth of knowledge …

Bacteria use quorum sensing to orchestrate gene expression programmes that underlie
collective behaviours. Quorum sensing relies on the production, release, detection and …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism between bacteria that allows specific
processes to be controlled, such as biofilm formation, virulence factor expression, production …

A biofilm is an assemblage of microbial cells attached to a surface and encapsulated in an
extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. The formation of a biofilm is one of the …

Abstract Microbial Whole-Cell Biosensors (MWCBs) have seen rapid development with the
arrival of 21st century biological and technological capabilities. They consist of microbial …

The microorganism-microorganism or microorganism-host interactions are the key strategy
to colonize and establish in a variety of different environments. These interactions involve all …

Quorum sensing is a process of cell–cell communication that allows bacteria to share
information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process …

Bacteria are highly interactive and possess an extraordinary repertoire of intercellular
communication and social behaviors, including quorum sensing (QS). QS has been studied …
