GUT MICROBIAL ECOLOGY AND QUORUM SENSING
K. Hillman

Abstract
The microbial ecology of the intestine has long been the subject of intense study, yet no more than a quarter of the species present have been isolated and grown in culture. Nevertheless, many attempts have been made to control the intestinal microflora with varying degrees of success, and new methods are still emerging. This short paper attempts to cover some of the common methods currently employed and the potential for future manipulation using the chemical signals employed in bacterial communication.
