Ruparell, A., Dubern, J., Ortori, C. A., Harrison, F., Halliday, N., Emtage, A., …Hardie, K. R. (2016). The fitness burden imposed by synthesising quorum sensing signals. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 33101. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep33101

It is now well established that bacterial populations utilize cell-to-cell signaling (quorum-sensing, QS) to control the production of public goods and other co-operative behaviours. Evolutionary theory predicts that both the cost of signal productio... Read More about The fitness burden imposed by synthesising quorum sensing signals.
