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. The cell-cell signaling process in which single-celled organisms monitor population density by detecting the concentration of small diffusible signal molecules. Any process that mediates interactions between a cell and its surroundings. Encompasses interactions such as signaling or attachment between one cell and another cell, between a cell and an extracellular matrix, or between a cell and any other aspect of its environment. The entirety of a process whereby information is transmitted. This process begins with the initiation of the signal and ends when a response has been triggered. Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another. 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.
