The city's defense system deploys a sophisticated anti-missile defense mechanism to neutralize threats before they can cause harm. In the microscopic world, bacteria face a similar scenario.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Bacteria can detect environmental threats by sensing peptidoglycan fragments from dying cells, prompting them to form protective biofilms. This response involves ...

Researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm.
