SUM IS GREATER THAN ITS PARTS. “Swarm intelligence, now-a-days has become a research focus which studies the collective behavior existing among the natural species which lives in group. Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO) is an optimization algorithm based on the social intelligence behavior of E.coli bacteria.” https://lnkd.in/d7qV-kS View in LinkedIn

SYMBIOSIS. “An unusual intraspecies temporary mutualism facilitates the spreading of both species. While P. vortex transporting fungal conidia with his swarming masses, the fungi bridges air gaps with its mycelia and allows bacteria to traverse these and colonize new niches.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE contemplates communication and cooperation among bacteria. Often dismissed as simple organisms, bacteria are still poorly appreciated. One trait common to every single life form is the ability to communicate, within its own species and with other species, in cases of collaboration, or at least be able to eavesdrop on the chatter of other species such as prey. Communication as a part of the definition of life has so far not made the list, but should be added. View in LinkedIn

INTRASPECIES RELATIONS. “P. vortex contains two subpopulations with different locations and functions, that contribute to creation of complex pattern colonies. The coexistence of two subpopulations within P. vortex colonies allows flexibility and adjustment to heterogeneous environments including other microorganisms such as fungi.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

P. VORTEX BACTERIA. “Its information processing abilities are supported by exceptionally high number of communication related genes (two-component system (TCS), transcription factors (TFs), transport and defense related genes) suggesting a high “Bacterial Social Intelligence Quotient (IQ) Score”.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

"THE NEW HUMAN SPECIES is one that begins to engineer the evolution of viruses, plants, animals, and itself. As we do that, Darwin’s rules get bent, and sometimes even broken. By taking direct and deliberate control over our evolution, we are living in a world where we are modifying stuff according to our desires. . . . Eventually, we get to the point where evolution is guided by what we’re engineering. That’s a big deal.” (Juan Enriquez). https://lnkd.in/dKSv-YU View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC COLONIES. “New features can collectively emerge during self-organization from the intracellular level to the whole colony. P. vortex, is a highly social, motile, pattern forming bacteria.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

BROADCASTING. “The cell plasticity allows the bacteria to select its response to biochemical messages it receives, including self-alteration (exposure to antibiotics causes enrichment of one subpopulation in Paenibacillus vortex) and the broadcasting of messages to influence on other bacteria.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn
