Abstract	The prospect of new biological and industrial applications that require communication in micro-scale, encourages research on the design of bio-compatible communication networks using networking primitives already available in nature. One of the most promising candidates for constructing such networks is to adapt and engineer specific types of bacteria that are capable of sensing, actuation, and above all, communication with each other. In this paper, we describe a new architecture for networks of bacteria to form a data collecting network, as in traditional sensor networks. The key to this architecture is the fact that the node in the network itself is a bacterial colony; as an individual bacterium (biological agent) is a tiny unreliable element with limited capabilities. We describe such a network under two different scenarios. We study the data gathering (sensing and multihop communication) scenario as in sensor networks followed by the consensus problem in a multinode network. We will explain as to how the bacteria in the colony collectively orchestrate their actions as a node to perform sensing and relaying tasks that would not be possible (at least reliably) by an individual bacterium. Each single bacterium in the colony forms a belief by sensing external parameter (e.g., a molecular signal from another node) from the medium and shares its belief with other bacteria in the colony. Then, after some interactions, all the bacteria in the colony form a common belief and act as a single node. We will model the reception process of each individual bacteria and will study its impact on the overall functionality of a node. We will present results on the reliability of the multihop communication for data gathering scenario as well as the speed of convergence in the consensus scenario.
