1 Quorum Sensing in Vibrio fischeri Quorum Sensing (QS) is a type of bacterial cell-to-cell communication, which enables a single cell to sense the number (concentration) of bacteria within a population. QS is achieved through the production, release and detection of special signaling molecules called autoinducers. Each cell produces autoinducer molecules and releases them into the environment. By continuously monitoring the concentration of these molecules in the environment each cell can sense the number of bacteria in the population. Many bacterial systems with QS behavior have been discovered and studied. The marine bioluminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri is one such interesting and well-studied system. The V.fischeri bacterium exists in a free-living state or as a symbiont of certain luminescent fish or squid. The bacteria luminesce only when present in large concentrations and do not emit light when in the free-living state. Research into the regulatory mechanism of bioluminescence in these bacteria led to the discovery of QS behavior in the system. The luminescence genes turn on only when the cell density is high. QS in V.fischeri relies on the synthesis, release and subsequent sensing of a signal molecule (autoinducer) known as N-acyl homserine lactone (AHL). AHL is synthesized by the protein LuxI and sensed by the protein LuxR. When cell density is low, concentration of AHL in the surrounding area is low. As cell density increases, concentration of AHL increases. When the AHL in the environment reaches a specific threshold concentration, it interacts with the LuxR protein to form a complex. The LuxR-AHL complex then causes the luminescence genes to be switched on. This complex also causes AHL to be produced in large quantities than before. Thus, the AHL is able to autoinduce its own synthesis. There is a vast amount of experimental literature available about this system. Efforts to model the QS behavior in this system are mostly based on differential equations. Few authors have also adopted a hybrid modeling approach. This is a very interesting system to study and I will delve into the details of the existing modeling approaches and key biological findings over the next week.
