Do Bacteria Plan? Molecular Coordination and Anticipatory Logic in Microbial Life

2025-11-10

Abstract excerpt

Planning in the human sense presupposes cognition, a mental mapping of actions toward the attainment of a goal. However, even without the nervous system, bacteria display complex adaptive behaviors that mimic planning: anticipating threats, preconfiguring molecular defenses, and coordinating collective responses against future contingencies. In the light of recent experimental evidence with Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
