Communication among microorganisms : the phenomen with biotech challenge

Communication is a process of sensing cell density and activating different adaptive mechanisms, which involves the exchange of specific signal molecules. It is known that cell density plays a key role in communication, while the influence of other factors (i.e. salinity, temperature) is less understood. We discussed quantitative methods for signal detection and microbial responses to environmental stresses in four model systems that include two Gram negative bacteria Vibrio sp. and C. jejuni, a Gram positive bacterium B. subtilis and a yeast S. cerevisiae.
