SOCIAL POPULATIONS. “The presence of programmed cell death systems in the great majority of prokaryotes strongly suggests that structured populations are the rule in microbial ecosystems. Indeed, some kind of social interaction, such as biofilm formation, is found on almost every bacterial group, and more advanced forms of sociality, such as quorum sensing, are often present in Proteobacteria and Firmicutes.”
