Artificial cells can sense quorum molecules released by natural cells. Artificial cells (AC) encoding either LuxR or LuxR* were able to sense the presence of V. fischeri. Negative control reactions were the artificial cells in the absence of the supernatant from V. fischeri (n = 3 biological replicates, mean ± SD). The schematic shows V. fischeri (teal, oblong) releasing quorum molecules that are sensed by artificial cells (gray, circle). RLU (relative luminescence units).
