Microbial Primer: LuxR-LuxI Quorum Sensing
View through CrossRef
Quorum sensing is a term describing bacterial cell-to-cell communication systems for monitoring and responding to changes in population density. This primer serves as an introduction to the canonical LuxR-LuxI-type quorum sensing circuits common to many species of Gram-negative bacteria. Quorum sensing can synchronize behaviours across a community. Different species employ quorum sensing strategies to control specific behaviours such as bioluminescence, virulence factor production, secondary metabolite production, and biofilm formation.
