Quorum sensing

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15374644 Quorum sensing control of lantibiotic production; nisin and subtilin autoregulate their own biosynthesis], Kleerebezem

In this paper, the molecular mechanism underlying regulation of nisin and subtilin production is reviewed.

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9675856 Induction of entry into the stationary growth phase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by N-acylhomoserine lactone], You et al.

Addition of N-acylhomoserine lactone in the exponential growth phase, regardless of cell density, induces a repression of cell growth of P. aeruginosa

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12032343 Induction of natural competence in Streptococcus pneumoniae triggers lysis and DNA release from a subfraction of the cell population], Steinmoen et al.

In this study Competence stimulating peptide is shown to initiates release of DNA from a subfraction of the bacterial population, probably by cell lysis.
