Summary Introduction
Cell to cell communication plays an important role in gene regulation whose products are required for the establishment of its symbiosis, biofilm production, virulence, and morphological difference in a wide bacterial range. A cell to cell communication that was mediated by small signaling molecules such as N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) within the microbial population is referred to as quorum sensing. The mechanism of quorum sensing varies among microbes.
