The main aim of this paper is to study the oscillatory behaviors of gene expression networks in quorum-sensing system with time delay. The stability of the unique positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated by choosing the time delay as the bifurcation parameter and by applying the bifurcation theory. The explicit criteria determining the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are developed based on the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Numerical simulations demonstrate good agreements with the theoretical results. Results of this paper indicate that the time delay plays a crucial role in the regulation of the dynamic behaviors of quorum-sensing system.
