AbstractA universal biochemical signal for bacterial cell-cell communication could facilitate programming dynamic responses in diverse bacterial consortia. However, the classical quorum sensing paradigm is that gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria generally communicate via homoserine lactones (HSL) or oligopeptide molecular signals, respectively, to elicit population responses.
