TY - JOUR AU - Anetzberger, Claudia AU - Schell, Ursula AU - Jung, Kirsten PY - 2012 DA - 2012/09/18 TI - Single cell analysis of Vibrio harveyi uncovers functional heterogeneity in response to quorum sensing signals JO - BMC Microbiology SP - 209 VL - 12 IS - 1 AB - Vibrio harveyi and closely related species are important pathogens in aquaculture. A complex quorum sensing cascade involving three autoinducers controls bioluminescence and several genes encoding virulence factors. Single cell analysis of a V. harveyi population has already indicated intercellular heterogeneity in the production of bioluminescence. This study was undertaken to analyze the expression of various autoinducer-dependent genes in individual cells.
