bacteria

MIT engineers engineered bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural to monitor crop health, for example. Credits:Image: Jose-Luis Olivares, MIT; iStock

Fruit flies are typically vulnerable to parasitic wasps, but some have acquired a bacterial gene that grants them resistance. This adult Drosophila melanogaster has two dark, melanin-coated cysts in its abdomen, marking the remains of wasp eggs that the fly successfully neutralized.

A (light green) bacterial cell detects a source of stress and becomes activated (dark green). It then produces alarmones (depicted as red triangles) and can transmit them to neighboring cells via cell-to-cell contact (black arrows). As the source of stress arrives, the percentage of activated cells increases, converting unstressed neighboring cells and triggering the stress response mechanism.
