Materials regarding quorum-sensing that is the main regulator of inter-cellular communications in Vcholerae are presented. Information transmission between separate vibrios is executed via autoinductors. Their interaction with regulatory proteins facilitates gene activation that take part in formation of biofilms of V.cholerae which ensures their survival and spread.
