Question
Do bacteria sleep or have a pattern to their activity?
Answer
We put this question to Dr Harriet McWatters: Ordinary bacteria such as you would find in your gut probably not. There is a class of blue-green algae which are often called cyanobacteria which have very strong circadian rhythms.
