Abstract

Oxylipins are ubiquitous in truly multicellular eukaryotes as cell-to-cell communication signals. However, their functions in bacteria are still poorly elucidated. Our recent research raises intriguing hypotheses and discussions on bacterial oxylipin signalling. The understanding of its mechanisms can, probably, not only open a new chapter in multicellularity evolution, but also provide more successful combating antimicrobial resistance. This material was first published in English in Nature Portfolio Microbiology Community blog. This article is an adapted translation into Russian.
