COMMUNICATION AMONG BACTERIA

Research investigating the bacterium with the scientific name of
Vibrio fischeri have revealed some highly interesting facts. They es-
tablished that these bacteria were in communication with one anot-
her. According to this research, cells encourage neighboring cells to
perform various functions by sending one another special messenger

molecules.
Bacteria release a messenger molecule known as AHL in order to
simulate one another. This AHL molecule activates a protein known
as LuxR. The activated LuxR then activates a marvelous system known The 95-million-year-old fossil flashlight fish
