Bacterial Quorum Sensing: A Matter Of Density, Not Quantity

Published on Friday, 10 July 2009 06:00 from ScienceDaily

Researchers have demonstrated that the absolute number of cells is irrelevant to the process of bacterial quorum sensing; only the number of bacteria in a given volume plays a role. They were even able to trigger quorum-sensing processes in single cells when these were confined in extremely small volumes.
