Bacterial multicellular behavior in antiviral defense
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023Multicellular behaviour benefits seemingly simple organisms such as bacteria, by improving nutrient uptake, resistance to stresses or by providing advantages in predatory interactions. Several recent studies have shown that this also extends to the defense against bacteriophages, which are omnipresent in almost all habitats.

Bacterial biofilms: prokaryotic adventures in multicellularity
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003The development of bacterial biofilms includes both the initial social behavior of undifferentiated cells, as well as cell death and differentiation in the mature biofilm, and displays several striking similarities with higher organisms. Recent advances in the field provide new insight into differentiation and cell death events in bacterial biofilm ...

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2020
Although the fundamental importance and biotechnological potential of multibacterial communities, also called biofilms, are well-known, our ability to control them is limited. We present a new way of dynamically controlling bacteria-bacteria adhesions by using blue light and how these photoswitchable adhesions can be used to regulate multicellularity ...

Quorum‐sensing Cascades Governing Bacterial Multicellular Communities
Israel Journal of Chemistry, 2015AbstractQuorum sensing (QS) is an efficient mode of intercellular communication between bacteria. This mode is regulated by self‐produced small chemical signals, activating dedicated receptors once accumulated. Numerous architecturally complex QS cascades are cardinal for governing bacterial behaviors, such as pathogenicity, luminescence, and bacterial

Bacterial multicellularity as a possible source of antibiotic resistance
Medical Hypotheses, 2003Knowledge about survival of micro-organisms in stressful situations not only influences the evolutionary theory in a fundamental way, but bears an extraordinary importance in finding a global solution to a very concrete urgent problem of mankind, namely bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Prokaryotic multicellularity: a nanopore array for bacterial cell communication
The FASEB Journal, 2013The transition from unicellular to multicellular life, which occurred several times during evolution, requires tight interaction and communication of neighboring cells. The multicellular cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 forms filaments of hundreds of interacting cells exchanging ...

Bacterial Multicellularity: The Biology of Escherichia coli Building Large-Scale Biofilm Communities
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2021Biofilms are a widespread multicellular form of bacterial life. The spatial structure and emergent properties of these communities depend on a polymeric extracellular matrix architecture that is orders of magnitude larger than the cells that build it.
