Abstract
Contrary to common understanding, bacterial responses are not standalone. External stimuli trigger bacterial communities to respond in consorted manner. Mega habitats on earth predominantly support biofilms form of growth. Heterogeneous microbial consortia stabilize over matrix and grow on the interface between any two of solid, liquid, or gas. This biofilm is advantageous to bacterial population by supporting nutrient acquisition, its use and recycling along with retention of aqueous microenvironment, enhanced cell-to-cell communication and orchestrated response against stresses like biocides and toxins.
