Biofilm refers to an extremely complex and highly organized microbial community attached to the surface of the carrier, which exists widely in the natural and industrial environments and affects human life and health. Quorum sensing is a special information communication system in bacterial biofilms, which is involved in the regulation of a variety of bacterial life habits and physiological processes and is conducive to the better adaptation of bacteria to the external environment. The communication of information in bacterial biofilm has been neglected for a long time, so it is very important to study the quorum sensing process of bacterial biofilm.
