From: Bacterial quorum sensing orchestrates longitudinal interactions to shape microbiota assembly
Time-series analysis of quorum sensing (QS) pathways retrieved from oral biofilm microbiota (OBM). A Sequential enrichment and classification of QS pathways into three types: Adapting Phase (AP)-, Growth Phase (GP)-, and Mature Phase (MP)-specific. The columns represent the samples that were collected daily throughout the OBM assembly process. Each column corresponds to one sample, and the specific collection day is indicated below each column. B The dominant genera that participate in QS signaling during AP, GP, and MP stages of OBM assembly
