Artificial horizontal gene transfer is a form of genetic engineering." [/quote] Another bingo moment. [/quote] oh legs 11 or ducks onwater shit guys catch up right then.... so......... it is QUORUM SENSING.... gawd.... dont tell me....that I..an uneducated fucking farmer....has to give you micro bio boffins a prep course in gene splicing? ok..hint co-valent bonds.... g'night.... wish somebody liked my poms [/quote] "it is QUORUM SENSING...." Please help. I read the definition. Is this the same as rule by consensus? [/quote] Sorry there....yes...quorum sensing....in the hive mind....unless quorum is achieved, there can be no survival... in this case..the bacterium/fungal/mycal lignans etc..all form ONE sentience... now... given that work has been done on collecting photovoltaic power from certian algea (read cross kingdom...by kingdom we are talking botanical classificatio) the risk of course... the worst case scenario is that this quorum sensing bacteria could conceviably cause stuxnet type abberations... imagine sentient slime... [/quote] If this Quorum Sensing is Rule by Consensus, then there must necessarily be some transmission of identifying elements. Supposing that the synthetic DNA does not transmit, then 1)By what means does this hive recognize its members? 2) What percentage represents the quorum? [/quote]
