Encapsulated fusion protein confers "sense and respond" activity to chitosan-alginate capsules to manipulate bacterial quorum sensing

We demonstrate that “nanofactory”‐loaded biopolymer capsules placed in the midst of a bacterial population can direct bacterial communication. Quorum sensing (QS) is a process by which bacteria communicate through small‐molecules, such as autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2), leading to collective behaviors such as...
