Quorum sensing: cell-to-cell communication in bacteria. (2005, background): “…explanation for these behaviors rests on Hamilton’s kin-selection theory that predicts that even without directly contributing to reproduction, organisms belonging to a multimember group promote the inheritance of their own genes by increasing the fitness of closely related kin (Hamilton 1964a,b).”
Autoinducer 2 Controls Biofilm Formation in Escherichia coli through a Novel Motility Quorum-Sensing Regulator (MqsR, B3022) (2006, background): “In addition, quorum sensing controls biofilm formation by controlling exopolysaccharide synthesis in Vibrio cholerae (which has homoserine lactone and AI-2 signals) (19), by controlling cell aggregation in Serratia liquefaciens (which has a homoserine lactone signal) (24), and by controlling genetic”

(2012, background): “…Singh et al., 2000; Zhu et al., 2002; Riedel et al., 2009; Bjarnsholt et al., 2010), although its impact, namely induction vs. repression of biofilm formation, varies depending on the bacterial species and environmental conditions (Hammer & Bassler, 2003; Xu et al., 2006; Sakuragi & Kolter, 2007).”
Bacterial Biofilms: Development, Dispersal, and Therapeutic Strategies in the Dawn of the Postantibiotic Era (2013, background): “Several sensory systems monitor the levels of small molecules, as a proxy to environmental changes, and alter gene expression accordingly, promoting disper- sal (Hammer and Bassler 2003; Kaplan 2010).”
