Scientists have discovered that bacteria are able to communicate with each other using an electrochemical signals called QUORUM SENSING.Such signals are used much in the way Human nerve cells do.
Quorum sensing is population independent. It is the least number of population that must be formed by organisms for any possible task to be carried out.
When the organisms reached the required number, a signal wil b send to by acylhomoserine which they have secreted. That is the way they communicate
