Bacterial biophotons as non-local information carriers Species-specific spectral characteristics of a stress response

" When recording a culture of E. coli for biophoton emissions we find, unequivocally, that the culture responds reliably when another culture of bacteria in the vicinity is insulted with hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, we find that we can discern whether the species of bacteria receiving the hydrogen peroxide is of the same species that we are recording biophotons from, or not. The results of the present study add to the already overwhelming evidence suggestive of non‐local communication; that is, communication in absentia a classical medium. ...

We do not claim the two cultures communicated through light, but rather that by measuring the light emissions of one system we learned information about the other system. " {Credits 1}
