Abstract :
Although a bacterium looks like a simple structure microbe, their family is one of the oldest organisms and ubiquitous in every habitat on Earth. The main reason is the bacterial (or prokaryotes´) global gene information sharing mechanism termed as bacterial gene sharing (BGS). Based on the research of BGS and Schrodinger´s life entropy theory, we presents a novel artificial life system with cellular automata, BGS-CA model, to simulate the bacterial gene information sharing. Some experiments are used to verify the viability and effectiveness of this model.
