Bacterial Quorum Sensing (QS) in Rhizosphere (Paddy Soil): Understanding Soil Signaling and N-Recycling for Increased Crop Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Applications Vol.2

Abstract

The multispecies communication in the environment exists as quorum sensing (QS). It is influenced by cell density and the production rate of sensory molecules. Numerous bacteria and other microorganisms have cellular communication through these molecules. It gives an idea about the coevolution in the rhizosphere. The QS supply utilizable form of nitrogen (N), solubilize phosphate, and induce systematic resistance in plants or suppress pathogenic bacteria in the rhizosphere. It is noticed that the conversion of high-molecular-weight N− into low-molecular-weight N− depends on cell density (biofilm) and their behaviors in rhizospheric soil. Thus, QS may be a control point in the rhizosphere (paddy soil) N-mineralization (i.e., N-recycling).
