Roles Classification
Biological Role(s):	autoinducer A signalling molecule produced and used by bacteria participating in quorum sensing, that is, in cell-cell communication to coordinate community-wide regulation of processes such as biofilm formation, virulence, and bioluminescence in populations of bacteria. Such communication can occur both within and between different species of bacteria. bacterial metabolite Any prokaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in bacteria.
