  1. Quorum sensing is a term describing bacterial cell-to-cell communication systems for monitoring and responding to changes in population density.

Quorum sensing can synchronize behaviours across a community. Different species employ quorum sensing strategies to control specific behaviours such as bioluminescence, virulence factor production, secondary metabolite production, and biofilm formation.
