Any biological process involved in the maintenance of the steady-state of cell number within a population of cells. The process in which a community of single-celled organisms of different species monitors population density by detecting the concentration of small diffusible signal molecules. The cell-cell signaling process in which single-celled organisms monitor population density by detecting the concentration of small diffusible signal molecules. The biological process involved in maintaining the steady-state of cell number within a population of free-living cells such as the bacteria in the gut. Any process by which an organism has an effect on another organism of the same or different species. The process in which single-celled organisms of the same species monitor population density by detecting the concentration of small, diffusible signal molecules. The process by which single-celled organisms monitor their population density by detecting the concentration of small, diffusible signal molecules produced by the cells themselves.
