Q Does autoinducer feedback switch a dense colony ON via Hill activation?

Claim

Does autoinducer feedback switch a dense colony ON via Hill activation?

Quorum sensing lets bacteria coordinate behaviour by population density. Cells secrete a diffusible autoinducer that also decays (setting a spatial coupling length); when the local concentration exceeds a Hill-shaped threshold, cells switch to an activated state and ramp up secretion in positive feedback. Dense clusters light up while isolated cells stay off.
