Abstract：
:The ability of bacterial cells to use small signalling molecules to monitor population growth may help them to react rapidly to environmental change. Regulatory systems made up of a small sensor molecule, an N-acyl homoserine lactone and a protein effector have been identified recently in a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria. These mediate signal cascades that amplify and coordinate the induction of single or multiple regulons.
