Bacterial signal destruction.

Michiko E Taga1.   

Abstract

Many bacteria use a molecule known as autoinducer-2 for interspecies communication, a form of quorum sensing. Enteric bacteria secrete this molecule and later import and degrade it. A new study explores the molecular mechanism behind this curious signal-destroying process.
