This volume details experimental and computational protocols that highlight modern quorum sensing research. Chapters guide readers through the molecular characterization of autoinducers and their receptors, individual and population level, and in the host and the environment. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical, Quorum Sensing: Methods and Protocols provides well-established protocols used by both academics and industrials.
