Bacterial quorum sensing and the role of algae in bacterial diseases control in aquaculture

<p>Bacterial disease is one of the most common diseases in aquaculture practices which have a significant impact. Several researches noted that pathogenicity of a certain bacteria can be determined by its quorum sensing activity. Quorum sensing is a communication process of a certain bacteria...
