Abstract
Extracellular DNA is an important component of the biofilm matrix. Now, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is shown to control autolysis through the production of HQNO, a quorum-sensing-regulated respiratory poison. Thus, HQNO-driven autolysis links programmed cell death with quorum sensing and biofilm formation.Entities:
