Communication among Bacteria
Public Domain by National Institutes of Health of the USA
| Bacteria are often viewed as isolated beings. However, as has been found out they live often in colonies and can even communicated with each other using electrical signal based on potassium ions not unlike the communication between neurons in a human brain. The findings may lead in the long run to new ways of treating bacterial infections. |
