Study identifies ribosomes as bacterial memory storage mechanism

Mathematical modeling revealed that ribosomes—the molecular factories responsible for protein production and growth rate—likely serve as the site where bacteria store memories. Fast-responding ribosomes track present conditions while slow-responding ones retain traces of the past, creating a memory spanning minutes to hours.
“Our model pointed to a component of cells called ribosomes as a potential memory storage site. Ribosomes are the molecular factories of cells, building proteins and setting how fast a cell grows.”

🦠‼️ Bacteria can store memories, learn from past experiences and use that information to prepare for the future, according to a new study. And they may be doing it using some of the same basic logic as # AI . https:// theconversation.com/learning-w…
