are they able to communicate?
This bioluminescence often occurs in bacteria that live in association with fish, and the light probably serves to attract fish or other large animals.

what bacterial parts are vital to a bacterium Prokaryotic microorganisms what do you mean by bacteria? They are a type of biological cell. describe their intracellular structures? It is surrounded by a cell membrane which encloses the contents of the cell and acts as a barrier to hold nutrients, proteins and other essential components of the cytoplasm. and extracellular? Around the outside of the cell membrane is the cell wall. Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by peptides containing D-amino acids. what are their origins? The ancestors of modern bacteria were unicellular microorganisms that were the first forms of life to appear on Earth, about 4 billion years ago. how about their metabolism? It exhibit an extremely wide variety of metabolic types which is classified into nutritional groups on the basis of three major criteria. how do they reproduce? It reproduces through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction.

Bacteria [SEP] Communication
A few bacteria have chemical systems that generate light. This bioluminescence often occurs in bacteria that live in association with fish, and the light probably serves to attract fish or other large animals. Bacteria often function as multicellular aggregates known as biofilms, exchanging a variety of molecular signals for inter-cell communication, and engaging in coordinated multicellular behaviour. The communal benefits of multicellular cooperation include a cellular division of labour, accessing resources that cannot effectively be used by single cells, collectively defending against antagonists, and optimising population survival by differentiating into distinct cell types. For example, bacteria in biofilms can have more than 500 times increased resistance to antibacterial agents than individual "planktonic" bacteria of the same species.
