The genomes of E. coli and Salmonella contain what appear to be genes involved in quorum sensing. But to my knowledge, not much is known about the phenotypes of these two bacteria regulated by quorum sensing? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would like know more about that, and about inter-species interactions between E. coli and Salmonella with other microorganisms, which may involve quorum sensing molecules too. So to summarize, how do E. coli and Salmonella participate in inter-species communication, and why?
