Quorum Sensing

Resumen del libro

New developments in researching quorum sensingMicrobial growth affects industries as diverse as agriculture, engineering, and medicine, to name a few. As more precise solutions are needed for modern challenges, researchers must understand the mechanisms of microbial growth. Quorum sensing (QS) is an essential part of microbial growth, and this work contains key areas such as signal molecules; mechanisms of signal transfer, role, and type of signal receptors; quorum quenching; characterization of microbial plasmids in quorum sensing; andnovel and underexplored molecules involved in QS, along with therapeutic roles of quorum sensing inhibitors.

This volume is perfect for researchers working on microbiology or biotechnology.
