← Nature & AnimalsWhich process causes aggregation in certain bioluminescent bacteria?
A)Quorum sensing through autoinducers✓
B)Nutrient chemotaxis during bloom phase
C)Bacterial magnetosome alignment shift
D)Phototaxis response toward surface tension
💡 Explanation
Quorum sensing mediates bacteria aggregation because cells release autoinducers; as concentration increases, bioluminescence genes are activated, promoting visible clustering and specialized behaviors thereof, rather than dispersing randomly because of differing environmental gradients.
