Influence of the Hydrodynamic Environment on Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilms
Journal of Bacteriology
(2007)
Abstract
We provide experimental and modeling evidence that the hydrodynamic environment can impact quorum
sensing (QS) in a <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> biofilm. The amount of biofilm biomass required for full QS induction of the population increased as the flow rate increased.
