# rmx-s-behav: not to harm themselves

<< Bacteria-killing bacteria (“predatory bacteria”) (..) have been found to produce a protein “antidote” that protects them from their own weapons >>

<< Self-protection technique allows one bacterium to destroy others >>

<< Understanding how these predators attack bacteria could provide new ways of combatting antimicrobial resistance >>

questo e' un esempio in natura dell'esistenza di sorta di "cappottino" prodotto da una entita' in grado di proteggersi dall'autolesione, dall'autopredazione.
