@ badgerIt's an old theme in sci-fi i think, but with each passing year, it seems more credible.
@ badgerI don't know how far the giant organism theme goes back in sci-fi. I have that Science Fiction: The Early Years by Blieler. Maybe i ought to check that. Think that i'm going to ask for Science-Fiction: The Gernsback Years for Christmas now.
Decoding the structure and function of compounds involved in this elaborate signaling process, known as “quorum sensing,” could lead to new medicines to block the signals and prevent infections. The report describes development of a group of powerful compounds, called N-acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) analogues that are effective against a broad-range of bacterial types, including those that cause diseases in humans. These compounds are “some of the most potent synthetic modulators of quorum sensing” identified to date, they say.
