Overview
- Analyzes bacterial quorum sensing from a physical and mathematical perspective
- Explores the role of spatiotemporal diffusion, regulatory dynamics, stochasticity and information in quorum communication
- Includes contributions from leading experimentalists, theoreticians, engineers and modelers
- Takes a physical science and engineering approach to the subject, but will appeal to anyone with a background in physical biology
Part of the book series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering (BIOMEDICAL)
