Published: December 2014

Numerous bacterial species utilize quorum sensing to communicate, but crosstalk often complicates the dynamics of mixed populations. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Wu and colleagues take advantage of synthetic gene circuits to elucidate interactions between two quorum sensing systems, with potential applications to fields from infectious diseases to biosynthesis.
