Clarifying intercellular signalling in yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not undergo a quorum sensing-dependent switch to filamentous growth
M. P. Winters, V. Aru, K. Howell, N. Arneborg
This study investigates whether quorum sensing triggers filamentous growth in S. cerevisiae under nitrogen deficiency, finding no evidence for this mechanism and suggesting instead that 2-phenylethanol may act through toxicity.
