Heterogeneous Response to a Quorum-Sensing Signal in the Luminescence of Individual Vibrio fischeri

The marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri regulates its bioluminescence through a quorum sensing mechanism: the bacterium releases diffusible small molecules (autoinducers) that accumulate in the environment as the population density increases. This accumulation of autoinducer (AI) eventually activates t...
