Abstract:

Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density dependent expression of species in bacteria mediated by signal molecules.
A variety of habits and physiological processes of microorganisms have some relationship with QS. QS has been one of the
most important research fields in life sciences. This review elaborates the various types of QS signal molecules. In addition,
the influence of QS system on aquatic product spoilage is also discussed. The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical
reference for the preservation and shelf life prolongation of aquatic products.

Key words: quorum sensing, aquatic products, dominant spoilage bacteria
