Question

Quorum sensing is triggered to begin when ___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Quorum sensing is triggered to begin when a sufficient number of bacteria are present .

Explanation:

Quorum sensing -

Quorum sensing is the ability to detect and to respond to the cell population density by the process of gene regulation . Quorum sensing bacteria releases some chemical signal molecules called the autoinducers , that increases the concentration as the function of the cell density .

The detection of the minimum threshold concentration of an autoinducer leads to the alteration in the gene expression .
