Curr Biol. 2025 Aug 4;35(15):R755-R757. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2025.06.037.ABSTRACTZhang et al. report a 'chemical radar' system in bacteria that detects predatory amoebae. An amoeba-produced enzymatic activity modifies a bacterial signal, which is then sensed by the prey to trigger amoebicidal defence, an elegant case of interspecies signal processing.PMID:40763699 | DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2025.06.037
