- Isolation of luminescent symbiont bacteria from marine cephalopods: a practical activity for the study of bacterial quorum sensing. Pérez-Etayo, Lara Salvador-Bescós, Miriam Aragón-Aranda, Beatriz Alonso-Urmeneta, Begoña Moriyón, Ignacio Conde-Álvarez, Raquel Quorum Sensing Symbiosis Animals Cephalopoda Bacteria Luminescence This work describes a laboratory activity designed to illustrate the phenomenon of bacterial quorum sensing (QS), a communication mechanism in bacterial communities. The activity focuses on the bioluminescence production regulated by QS of bacteria that live in symbiosis with cephalopods. This activity targets undergraduate students in biology, biochemistry, or other sciences and aims to promote their interest in microbiology and to help students to understand the role and mechanism of QS in microorganisms by means of a visual example of symbiotic interactions between bacteria and animals. At the same time, students are expected to develop lab skills in bacterial isolation, pure culture obtention, and interpretation of microbiological results. The work also provides references and resources to help students understand the subject and teachers assess student learning.
