Bacteria Can Speak Multiple Languages




For years I just sort of assumed that cells were self-reproducing bunches of protein. Perhaps you did too. Turns out they’re way smarter than that. You will be amazed at this video. Dr. Bonnie Bassler from Princeton University presents a beautiful TED talk on how bacteria communicate with each other by forming words out of simple molecules.
She also explains…
  • How bacteria strategize together on how to ‘take down’ their host
  • Elegant systems of bioluminescence
  • Symbiotic relationships between organisms
  • Cells speak multiple languages
Enjoy this remarkable presentation. And a sincere thanks to Perry Marsh for sharing it with me. It all reminds me of the wonderfulness of the Creator of the Universe... God Almighty!
