[...] Quorum sensing (QS), or the phenomenon by which communication and coordinated population response in bacterial cells is controlled by diffusible molecules, was first described in Myxobacteria and their ability to form aggregate colonies. QS has not only been described at an intraspecies level, but also between species (interspecies), and between bacteria and higher eukaryotic organisms (interkingdom). On an intraspecies level, this signaling plays beneficial roles in communication and can be explained by theories such as W.D. Hamilton’s model of kin selection. Communication between prokaryotic cells and other species or higher organisms, however, may appear as much more of an evolutionary puzzle and can’t really be described by selection models. Many debate when this communication between species and with higher organisms even constitutes signaling, as to distinguish a form of communication as being cell signaling, it is believed to require two aspects: [...]
