a concept uniting quorum and diffusion sensing, in which signal buildup tells cells whether secreting costly products will pay off given density, mixing and space.

In microbiology, efficiency sensing refers to a concept uniting quorum and diffusion sensing, in which signal buildup tells cells whether secreting costly products will pay off given density, mixing and space. This meaning comes from Hense (2007) in Nature Reviews Microbiology.[1]
