Intra-Species Bacterial Quorum Sensing Studied at Single Cell Level in a Double Droplet Trapping System

In this paper, we investigated the intra-species bacterial quorum sensing at the single cell level using a double droplet trapping system. Escherichia coli transformed to express the quorum sensing receptor protein, LasR, were encapsulated in microdroplets that were positioned adjacent to microdropl...
