Quorum-sensing bacteria produce and release chemical signal molecules termed autoinducers (AIs) whose external concentration increases as a function of increasing cell-population density. Bacteria detect the accumulation of a minimal threshold stimulatory concentration of these autoinducers and alter gene expression, and therefore their behavior. Using these signal-response systems, bacteria synchronize particular behaviors on a population-wide scale and thus function as multicellular organisms. | Quorum-sensing bacteria produce and release chemical signal molecules termed autoinducers (AIs) whose external concentration increases as a function of increasing cell-population density.

The bioluminescent marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi uses three different AIs—AHL, CAI-1, and AI-2—to control the expression of genes responsible for bioluminescence and numerous other traits. We have designed our System 2 based on V. harveyi AI-2 signaling. | The bioluminescent marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi uses three different AIs—AHL, CAI-1, and AI-2—to control the expression of genes responsible for bioluminescence and numerous other traits.
