Summarizes the science and recent research developments of chemical communication among bacteria

Quorum sensing (QS) describes a chemical communication behavior that is nearly universal among bacteria. Individual cells release a diffusible small molecule (a

Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are the key components for the aggregation of microorganisms in biofilms, flocs and sludge. They are composed

Over the past 40 years, quorum sensing (QS)-a type of chemical communication used by common bacteria-has been shown to be play an increasingly important role in

Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the
