Autoinducer-2 functions as both a quorum-sensing and metabolic signal in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT Bacteria integrate diverse environmental signals to coordinate behavior, yet the relationship between nutrient sensing and quorum sensing (QS) remains incompletely understood. Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is unique among QS signals in that its production is tightly linked to cen...
