Abstract
Bacteria are the smallest living organisms on this planet. While bacteria can live as free-floating single cells, many can specifically recognize other kinds of bacteria and stick to them. This ability is called coaggregation. Over 50 years ago, microbiologists first observed coaggregation between bacteria that grow in human mouths. However, it is becoming clear that coaggregation happens in many environments and may be an important and widespread phenomenon for bacterial survival. This article will help you understand bacterial coaggregation and hopefully inspire you to learn more about the microscopic behavior of bacteria.
