quorum sensing n. A phenomenon in which a population of bacteria produces and responds to intercellular chemical signals whose concentration indicates the density of the population. When the density reaches a certain level, genes are expressed that allow for coordinated group behavior, as in biolumines...
In biology, in the similar sense, the term "quorum sensing" refers to a communication process most often used by bacteria to create a harmonious environment that promotes microbial adaptability to the environment. By definition, quorum sensing is an intercellular communication process that allows ...

Cell-cell communication is also known as quorum sensing (QS) that happens in the bacterial cells with the aim to regulate their genes expression in response to increased cell density. In this study, a bacterium (L8A) isolated from dental plaque biofilm was identified asCitrobacter amalonaticusby...
While the glycan strands in thin 'Gram-negative' peptidoglycan are known to run circumferentially around the cell, the architecture of the thicker 'Gram-positive' form remains unclear.
