Bacteria Communicate by Touch

Summary:
What if bacteria could talk to each other? What if they had a sense of touch? A new study by researchers at UC Santa Barbara suggests both, and theorizes that such cells may, in fact, need to communicate in order to perform certain functions.

Critique:
is there any other types of communication of any sort the bacteria can do?

Impact:
this could help us understand more about bacteria and how it works
