Could Positive Feedback Enable Bacterial Pheromone Signaling To Coordinate Behaviors in Response to Heterogeneous Environmental Cues?

ABSTRACT Pheromone signaling (PS) underlies many important bacterial behaviors, yet its ecological functions remain unresolved. Because pheromone-mediated behaviors require high cell density, the term “quorum sensing” is widely used to describe and make sense of PS. However, while this term has unif...
