Archaea represent a third domain of life with unique properties not
found in the other domains. Archaea actively compete for
environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can
distinguish between 'self' and 'non-self'. They process and
evaluate available information and then modify their behaviour
accordingly. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much
energy they need for particular goals, and then realize the optimum
variant. These highly diverse competences show us that this is
possible owing to sign(aling)- mediated communication processes
within archaeal cells (intra-organismic), between the same, related
and different archaeal species (interorganismic), and between
archaea and nonarchaeal organisms (transorganismic). This is
crucial in coordinating growth and development, shape and dynamics.
Such communication must function both on the local level and
between widely separated colony parts. This allows archaea to
coordinate appropriate response behaviors in a differentiated
manner to their current developmental status and physiological
influences. This book will orientate further investigations on how
archaeal ecosphere inhabitants communicate with each other to
coordinate their behavioral patterns and whats the role of viruses
in this highly dynamic interactional networks.
