Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Quorum sensing is a density dependent communication process. Density dependent means more the number of bacteria more will be the communication. Biofilm is a type of quorum sensing process. When microbes form biofilm at that time they are more resistant to the killing agents like antibiotics as compared to when they are free living. It simply means that formation of biofilm helps them in evading environmental stress like antibiotics and other disinfectants. Quorum sensing doesn't affect the ability of microbes to form biofilms in fact Biofilm formation is a type of quorum sensing. During this phenomenon microbes produce some auto-inducers like peptides and N-acyl homoserine lactone etc.
