Quorum Sensing in Bacteria
细菌中群体感应调节系统

Bacteria can co ordinate group activities by cell cell communicate with each other. The interbacterial communication system known as quorum sensing(QS) utilizes hormones, such as acyl homoserine lactone(AHL), oligopeptide and furanosyl borate diester, to regulate bacterial gene expression. This review describes bacterial QS regulatory cascades of gram negative and postive bacteria. Finally we discuss strategy of anti QS system for plant controlling bacterial disease.
