Quorum sensing signals in biofilms : understanding the impact of AI-2 on the molecular mechanisms in Bacillus cereus biofilms
In nature, bacteria can exist as a multi species consortium of cells adherent to a surface and able to co-ordinate cellular metabolism via quorum sensing molecules. The effect of biofilm formation can have both positive as well as negative impacts on human society. In order to engineer systems where...
