Nanoparticles are ultra-small particulates often having novel properties. Their current use constitutes a multibillion dollar industry that is expected to rapidly grown in the near future…

Bacterial 'cell-cell talk' in complex microbial communities: identifying diverse and novel quorum sensing signals in extreme environments

Lead Institution

University of South Carolina

Principal Investigator

Alan Decho

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Microbes communicate using quorum sensing (QS), a type of cell-cell signaling that occurs within and among species of microbes, and even between kingdoms, to synchronize their gene expression and…
