Quorum Sensing in Gram-Negative Bacteria: An Overview
Article

  • Nov 2021
We know bacteria do not exist in solitary cell rather they try to live in colony. They try to communicate with each other by secreting some of chemical signals excreted from cell. The most common signaling molecule found in gram negative bacteria are N-acyl derivatives of homoserine lactone. In this article we try to give a general idea about how b...

... to express a particular phenotypic expression, a threshold limit of population is required. To achieve that threshold concentration, bacteria try to accumulate more population by secreting more autoinducers (Figure 1) (Whitehead et al., 2001). ...
