THINKING ABOUT BACTERIAL POPULATIONS AS MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1998
▪ Abstract  It has been a decade since multicellularity was proposed as a general bacterial trait. Intercellular communication and multicellular coordination are now known to be widespread among prokaryotes and to affect multiple phenotypes. Many different classes of signaling molecules have been identified in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative ...

Biofilm as a Multicellular Bacterial System

2013
Biofilm is thought to be the primary natural habitat for many bacteria and they are associated with a wide range of human activities, such as wastewater treatment and clinical infections. Current research points out that cells inside biofilms are physiologically distinct from free-floating cells.

Synthetic multicellular cell-to-cell communication in inkjet printed bacterial cell systems

Biomaterials, 2011
We utilized a commercially available materials printer to investigate synthetic multicellular cell-to-cell communication because inkjet printing technology makes it easy to print spatiotemporal patterns of soluble biomolecules and live cells. Since cells are genetically programmed to communicate with one another via synthetic biology, cell signaling ...

Bacterial biofilm development as a multicellular adaptation: antibiotic resistance and new therapeutic strategies

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2013
Bacteria have evolved the ability to form multicellular, surface-adherent communities called biofilms that allow survival in hostile environments. In clinical settings, bacteria are exposed to various sources of stress, including antibiotics, nutrient limitation, anaerobiosis, heat shock, etc., which in turn trigger adaptive responses in bacterial ...

Linking bacterial growth, survival, and multicellularity – small signaling molecules as triggers and drivers

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2020
An overarching theme of cellular regulation in bacteria arises from the trade-off between growth and stress resilience. In addition, the formation of biofilms contributes to stress survival, since these dense multicellular aggregates, in which cells are embedded in an extracellular matrix of self-produced polymers, represent a self-constructed ...

A Scalable Parallel Framework for Multicellular Communication in Bacterial Quorum Sensing

2019
Certain species of bacteria are capable of communicating through a mechanism called Quorum Sensing (QS) wherein they release and sense signaling molecules, called autoinducers, to and from the environment. Despite stochastic fluctuations, bacteria gradually achieve coordinated gene expression through QS, which in turn, help them better adapt to ...

The Phototrophic Consortium “Chlorochromatium aggregatum” – A Model for Bacterial Heterologous Multicellularity

2010
Phototrophic consortia currently represent the most highly developed interspecific association between prokaryotes and consist of green sulfur bacterial epibionts which surround a central, motile, chemotrophic bacterium. Several independent experimental findings indicate that a rapid signal transfer occurs between the epibionts and the central ...

NMR resonance assignment of the cell death execution domain BELL2 from multicellular bacterial signalosomes

Biomolecular NMR Assignments
Signalosomes are high-order protein machineries involved in complex mechanisms controlling regulated immune defense and cell death execution. The immune response is initiated by the recognition of exogeneous or endogenous signals, triggering the signalosome assembly process.
