Microbes often form consortia performing material processing and cycling in the environment. Cooperation and interaction occur within those consortia. We can use microbial consortia to do work like degrading pollutants, producing proteins or chemicals. Is is possible to regulate bacterial interactions among certain bacteria populations? e.g., manipulating their quorum sensing systems?
It is an interesting questions and the literature is abundant on the subject
First try to attend interesting meetings on the subject
Yes, it is possible. Microbes interact based on a number of factors but one of the most important factors is Ph. The second is salinity. They react to their environment in similar ways and they repel one another in ways that are predictable.
Some chemicals released by root cells are able to mimic homoserine lactone and lead not to quorum sensing, but to quorum quenching
firstly insight into microbial structural is very important... then how nature of interactions.. See the possible way like electrical pulses, chemical modification, change in cultural conditions.. etc. could be useful methods

change in microbial interactions is possible by varying the physio-chemical parameter .They behave accordingly to the need and scarcity of a particular chemical and other physical conditions. you have to alter them carefully.
