    Abstract

    Within recent years, there has been an increasing
    interest in discovering the beneficial effects of probiotics
    and the mechanisms by which probiotics interact with
    the host and the gut microbiota. One of the
    mechanisms that bacteria interact or communicate with
    each other is quorum sensing. Quorum sensing is cellto-
    cell signalling through the production, secretion and
    detection of small signal molecules called autoinducers.
    The aim of the present study was to investigate the
    transcription of the luxS gene involved in quorum
    sensing in probiotic strain Lactobacillus acidophilus
    NCFM after passage through an in vitro digestion
    model, which could have effect on cell-to-cell
    communication between microorganisms of gut
    microbiota.
