Intestinal microbiota and metabolites—Implications for broiler chicken health and performance1 (2013, background): “Common classes of soluble signaling molecules include oligopeptides in gram-positive bacteria, N-acyl homoserine lactones in gram-negative bacteria, and a family of autoinducers known as autoinducer-2 in both gram-negative and positive bacteria [62].”
Targeting virulence: a new paradigm for antimicrobial therapy (2007, background): “3a ), a mode of bacterial communication used by multiple bacterial species to regulate processes such as bioluminescence, antibiotic synthesis, biofilm formation and virulence factor expression as a function of population densit”
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria modulate root-system architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana through volatile organic compound emission (2010, background): “This compound has been reported to act as an autoinducer of quorum-sensing (QS) signaling in bacteria (Miller and Bassler 2001).”
Volume-filling and quorum-sensing in models for chemosensitive movement (2002, background): “While the mechanisms in place for this regulation are largely unknown, a great deal of interest has recently been generated by “quorumsensing”, or population sensing, in bacterial populations [33, 56, 57].”
Biotechnological Applications of Bacterial Endophytes (2014, background): “In this way, a variety of physiological processes, including the production of many antibiotics and pathogenicity/virulence factors, and rhizosphere colonization are regulated [118, 119].”
Rhamnolipids: Detection, Analysis, Biosynthesis, Genetic Regulation, and Bioengineering of Production (2011, background): “The production of secondary metabolites and virulence factors such as antibiotics and proteases is often controlled by quorum sensing (Miller and Bassler 2001).”
Rhizosphere engineering and management for sustainable agriculture (2009, background): “When a certain cell density (quorum) of the pathogen is reached, a threshold NAHL concentration is detected by a sensor protein (reviewed in Whitehead et al. 2001; Miller and Bassler 2001; Williams et al. 2007), which activates the synthesis of maceration enzymes such as cellulase, pectate lyase, et”
Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “Many bacterial species produce signal molecules such as acylated homoserine lactones and oligo-peptides to synchronize cellular activities in response to the environmental changes, a process called ‘‘quorum sensing’’ (Miller & Bassler, 2001).”
