How Can Bacteria Defend Itself From Threats?
Bacteria can create what's called a plasmid. This is a membrane bound a element that will contain some of the bacterial d and a. And this can come out of the bacterious membrane, go bacteria that are near it,. Change their gene expressions and even intigrate into their gens as well. A very common way, again, that bacteria can defend against the threat. 80 % of all bacteria at any one time are in bile films. So ther really aren't, for the most part, single celled organisms.
