This model shows the role of vesicles, vesicle chains and membrane tubes in M. xanthus biofilms. The scientists believe these connections help cells exchange signals and material. Image: Auer laboratory<\/p>\n

Using several imaging techniques, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists found that a common soil bacterium stays connected by a network of chain-like membranes. They believe the bacterium uses its network to coordinate social activities-such as evading bacterial enemies and snaring prey-without revealing its location. Even bacteria use social networks<\/a><\/p>\n
