Microbial quorum sensing: Mechanisms, applications, and challenges.
Quorum sensing (QS) is a sophisticated microbial communication system that orchestrates gene expression in response to population density, governing collective behaviors crucial for microbial survival and function. This comprehensive review elucidates the intricate synthesis pathways and mechanisms of QS signaling molecules across diverse microbial species. We critically analyze the multifaceted applications of QS in healthcare, agriculture, and environmental biotechnology, highlighting its potential to revolutionize these fields. The review also explores quorum quenching (QQ) strategies as a novel approach to microbial control and examines the unique adaptations of QS systems in extreme environments. By synthesizing recent advancements and identifying knowledge gaps, we outline pressing challenges and propose promising future research directions. This work aims to provide a roadmap for leveraging QS in developing innovative biotechnological solutions to address global challenges in health, food security, and environmental sustainability.
