Artificial cells capable of both sensing and sending chemical messages to bacteria have yet to be built. Here we show that artificial cells that are able to sense and synthesize quorum signaling molecules can chemically communicate with <i>V. fischeri</i>, <i>V. harveyi</i>, <i>E. coli</i>, and <i>P. aeruginosa</i>. Activity was assessed by fluorescence, luminescence, RT-qPCR, and RNA-seq. Two potential applications for this technology were demonstrated. First, the extent to which artificial cel ...[more]
