Mapping quorum sensing onto neural networks to understand collective decision making in heterogeneous microbial communities
Tahir Yusufaly, James Q. Boedicker
Microbial communities frequently communicate via quorum sensing (QS), where cells produce, secrete, and respond to a threshold level of an autoinducer (AI) molecule, thereby modula…

Spatial Dispersal of Bacterial Colonies Induces a Dynamical Transition From Local to Global Quorum Sensing
Tahir I. Yusufaly, James Q. Boedicker
Bacteria communicate using external chemical signals called autoinducers (AI) in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). QS efficiency is reduced by both limitations of AI diffusio…
