BACTERIAL COMMUNICATION. “Under natural growth conditions, bacteria can utilize intricate communication capabilities (e.g., quorum sensing, chemotactic signaling and plasmid exchange) to cooperatively form (self-organize) complex colonies with elevated adaptability — the colonial pattern is collectively engineered according to the environmental conditions.” https://lnkd.in/dTVhrsr View in LinkedIn

ADAPTIVE TRAIT. “This ability to form cooperative collectives serves an important survival strategy when bacteria are exposed to harsh and changing conditions.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

MOLECULAR WORDS. “Quorum sensing is a well-studied method of communication-based cooperation using bacterial sensing faculties. Many bacterial species use quorum sensing molecules to switch the expression of a variety of genes once the species density exceeds a critical threshold (e.g., virulence genes, and competence versus sporulation decision circuits).”" "(Chapter 10). https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL COLLABORATION. “Bacterial communication-based also contributes to colony morphogenesis, which requires coordinated gene expression, regulated cell differentiation and division of tasks.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

GENETIC LANGUAGE. “Many bacteria have intricate intra-cellular signaling mechanisms involving signal transduction networks and genetic language.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL LANGUAGE. “These mechanisms are part of the intra-cellular functional complexity which is used to generate intrinsic meaning for contextual interpretations of the chemical messages and for formulating appropriate complex responses.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL SOCIETIES. “Complex organizations of bacteria emerge through the communication-based interplay between individuals.”" "(Chapter 10) https://lnkd.in/dH829kt View in LinkedIn

AUTONOMOUS REPLICONS. “Each bacterium is, by itself, a biotic autonomous system with its own internal cellular informatics capabilities (storage and processing of information triggering an appropriate response).”" "(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
