In a process called quorum sensing, groups of bacteria communicate with one another to coordinate their behavior and function like a multicellular organism. A diverse array of secreted chemical signal molecules and signal detection apparatuses facilitate highly productive intra- and interspecies relationships.
在一个被称为群体感应的过程中，细菌群体相互交流，以协调它们的行为，并像多细胞生物一样发挥功能。各种各样的分泌化学信号分子和信号检测装置促进了高效的种内和种间关系。
