Characterization of comQ and comX, Two Genes Required for Production of ComX Pheromone in Bacillus subtilis

Many microbes use secreted peptide-signaling molecules to stimulate changes in gene expression in response to high population density, a process called quorum sensing. ComX pheromone is a modified 10-amino-acid peptide used by Bacillus subtilis to modulate changes in gene expression in response to c...
