Journal Article
A family of linear plasmid phages that detect a quorum-sensing autoinducer exists in multiple bacterial species
2026
Overview
The discovery of quorum-sensing responsive linear plasmid phages has transformed understanding of phage-bacterial interactions by demonstrating inter-domain chemical communication. To date, however, examples of quorum-sensing responsive phages have been sparse. The founding example of such a phage, φVP882, detects a chemical communication signal molecule called DPO that is produced by diverse bacterial species. We investigated whether a family of VP882-like phages might exist that detect and respond to DPO. We find that indeed, VP882-like phages reside in DPO-producing bacterial species isolated at different times and geographic locations, suggesting their wide circulation in the environment. This discovery strengthens the evidence for the generality of phage-bacterial inter-domain chemical communication.
