Researchers from the United States reported that they found a new mechanism that allows talking about the detection of memory in bacteria.
As it was possible to learn, this discovery is very important, as it allows to learn more about the life of bacteria. It used to be that they do not directly have a memory mechanism, their memorization only takes place in an evolutionary way.
Now it has been proven that bacteria can remember. It is this property that helps them to resist the drugs that people use against them.
It turned out that the most primitive life forms on the planet, consisting only of one cell, are not so simple and have good adaptations. They can not simply resist the problems that occur, but they can memorize the mechanism that allowed them to survive. In addition, it also helps them to adapt to different living conditions.
During the last experiments, scientists studied the genome CRISPR / Cas9, single-celled can memorize viruses and methods of combating them. In the end, they were able to detect another mechanism of bacteria, which allows them to remember.
These are strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These bacteria are dangerous to humans, because they are capable of creating biofilms that cause dangerous infections in the airways. In addition, they can also be found on surgical implants.
