We commonly know that all human beings talk to each other in order to communicate. But recently the new research and experiments conducted proclaims that not “only humans but also bacteria talk too in order to communicate “.
How do the Bacteria’s talk?? Do they speak any language…?
The language of bacteria is quite different from that of human. These bacteria use chemical signaling molecules to communicate. This chemical signals are termed as ‘auto-inductors’. Many microbes use this type of cell-to-cell communication called “QUORUM SENSING” [QS].These QS molecules are released into the atmosphere and are sensed by other bacteria.
*In accordance with the interfering mechanisms and properties posed by controlling the talk and cross talk, most of the bacterial disease can be controlled.
*Recent researches on this has focused on the broad range of bacteria looking at their phenotypic expressions like production of anti- fungal compounds, swarming behavior, bio film formation and production of extra-cellular polysaccharide.
Totally these new inventions open up avenues in managing and avoiding medical problems related to BACTERIA.
