Bacteria have wifi!

Süel and other scientists are now finding that bacteria in biofilms can also talk to one another electrically. Biofilms appear to use electrically charged particles to organize and synchronize activities across large expanses..
He focused on ion channels — specialized molecules that nestle into cells’ outer membranes and ferry electrically charged particles in and out. Ion channels are probably most famous for their role in nerve cells, or neurons.
@natecull also check out quorum sensing and languages (and a lingua franca!) in bacteria:
Bonnie Bassler discovered that bacteria "talk" to each other, using a chemical language that lets them coordinate defense and mount attacks.

@natecull First fungi now bacteria, Terence McKenna never died and we are all part of his mushroom trip.
