BActeria are cable of making complex decsions. All are able to adapt and change in thier enviroment. This trait is nearly shared with every living things. The bacteria cells contain many receptors. Mutant bacteria is blind and cannot detect the right position.

- Bacteria are more capable of complex decision making than thought.
- Their research is to learn about how bacteria acts in change in their environment
- They think they might be later able to use the information to help attack harmful bacteria
- There is good long term potential in the knowleedge for bacteria testing
- Scientists have not known how the bacterias receptors effect the bacterias changes

bacteria are more capable of complex decision.

Bacteria cells contain a number of receptors.

E. coli has only five receptors that direct its decision making process about movement.

mutant bacteria is blind and can not detect the right position.

Alexandre says there’s good long-term potential for the knowledge gained in the study.

1. Bacteria are more capable of complex decision making than previously known.
2. Scientist from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville,TN discovered this.
3. The discovery sets a land mark in reasearch.
4. Now scientist understand the way bacteria are able to respond & react to their enviroment.
5. Being able to adapt in the enviroment is a trait that all living things have.
6. Scientist think this will help researchers in the long rum.
7. The findings are published in Procedings of the National Academy of Sciences,

1. Bacteria are capable of decision-making.
2. Bacteria can respond and adapt to its environment.
3. Bacteria’s cells contain a number of receptors.
4. Alexandre wants other scientists to use a similar technique receptor sites.
5. Alexandre and her team created mutant versions without receptors.

1) Researchers at the University of Tennessee have discovered that bacteria is more capable of complex decision but not the way we do.
2) Bacteria cells contain receptors, and each one can change things like how to move.
3) Mutant bacteria is some what blind.
4) All bacteria are able to respond and adapt to changes in their environment, a trait shared by nearly all living things.
5) E Coli has five receptors that direct its desion making process about movement.

1. Bacteria can sense there surroundings and therefore adapt through receptors.

2. E. coli has 5 receptors and Azospirillum brasilense, another bacteria, has 48.

3. Bacteria converts nitrogen into ammonium which starts the building blocks of all cells. (nitrogen fixation)

4. The receptors also since the oxygen concentration that is just right for nitrogen fixation.

5.Scientists believe that if they can figure out the key purpose of the receptors than they can mold the receptors to make the bacteria work with us not against us.

1. Bacteria are more capable of complex decision.
2. Bacteria cells contain a number of recepters.
3. Mutant bacteria is blind and can not detect the right postion.
4. It adapts to it’s environment.
5. The process is carried by enzyme which is damage of oxygen.
