The Physical Basis of Bacterial Quorum Communication

Many bacterial species engage in the behavior known as quorum sensing (QS), which can be described as the regulation of gene expression in response to changes in the bacterial population density [1]. The bacteria synthesize and release diffusible small molecules known as autoinducers, which accum...
