Abstract

Bacteria’s are the primitive form of the organisms that evolved millions of years ago and still, exist in our society. Like other animals, bacteria’s have the power of sensing or adaptation. It can detect odd, harsh environment and survive accordingly. Quorum sensing is a well-known field that scientists have explored for long years. Bacteria’s flagella can touch and sense odd molecules and escape the harsh living areas. In the adverse situation, they produce spores to survive from drought or any other natural calamities. The cell membrane is a unique part of a bacterial body that protects the nucleic acid from destruction. The nucleic acid is pH sensitive, temperature sensitive and it degrades when cell wall or membrane is absent. Like plants, bacteria also have pores in their membranes.
