Abstract

Bacteria are capable of complex assemblage behavior through cell-to-cell communication using diffusible chemical signal molecules that accumulate to a threshold concentration that activates target genes ([1][1]). This process, termed “quorum sensing,” has not been shown to cross the prokaryote-
