For a long a time programmed cell death was thought to be a unique characteristic of higher eukaryotes, but evidence has accumulated showing that programmed cell death is a universal phenomenon in all life forms. Many different types of bacterial programmed cell death systems have been identified, rivalling the eukaryotic systems in diversity. Bacteria are singular, seemingly independently living organisms, however they are part of complex communities. Being part of a community seems indispensable for survival in different environments. This review is focussed on the mechanism of and reasons for bacterial programmed cell death in the context of bacterial communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
