Question

Complete the following sentence:

Induction of virulence in Vibrio cholerae is probably triggered by.....
contact with epithelial cells.
elevated oxygen concentrations.
polysaccharide production.
quorum sensing.
bioluminescence.

Answer 1

Answer: Quorum Sensing

Step-by-step explanation:

Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of chemical communication that bacteria use to orchestrate collective behaviors. QS communication relies on chemical signal molecules called autoinducers. QS regulates virulence in Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the disease cholera.
