Question

43 multiple choice 6.15 points which of the following processes is associated with quorum sensing? transduction biofilm formation transformation oxygenic phosynthesis

Explanation:

Quorum sensing is a mechanism by which bacteria communicate and coordinate their behavior based on cell - density. Biofilm formation is one of the processes regulated by quorum sensing. Bacteria in a biofilm adhere to a surface and are surrounded by a self - produced matrix. Transduction is the transfer of genetic material by viruses. Transformation is the uptake of free DNA by bacteria. Oxygenic photosynthesis is the process of generating oxygen during photosynthesis.

Answer:

B. Biofilm formation
