摘要：

群体感应是微生物利用信号分子感知环境条件并进行特定基因表达调控.近年来,随着群体感应在微生物信息交流中的作用日益凸显,其在生物聚集体(生物膜和颗粒)形成过程中的作用受到广泛关注.本文综述了自体诱导信号分子AI的分类和相应的群体感应调控方式,以及群体感应信号分子对生物聚集体形成和结构稳定的调控,并对群体感应研究新领域进行了展望.

Abstract: Quorum sensing is a microbial phenomenon that microorganisms use signal molecules to perceive environmental conditions and regulate specific gene expressions. As the communication function of quorum sensing is increasingly highlighted in the microbial field, researches on quorum sensing in the formation process of biological aggregates (biofilm and granules) attract wide attentions. The paper reviewed autoinducers (AI) classification and the corresponding regulation methods in quorum sensing, and provided an uptodate account on research progress of AIs regulating biological aggregates formation and structural stability. New territories and future of quorum sensing were also outlined.
