Abstract
We use the well-known Jackson's electric potential to characterize the dynamics of bacterial nanonetworks by assuming that all of them are achieving actions of communication from the behavior of their electric fields as well as electric forces, as consequence of the internal dynamics of their ions in processes of (Nitrogen and sugar) phosphotransferase systems (PTS) aimed to phosphate exchange that is crucial to maintain Potassium K+ homeostasis systems to assure virulence to colonize a host body. Under this view in this paper we propose that bacteria communication are using the free ions of Potassium to exert electric fields to others bacteria targeting a determined task. For this end we use the Jackson's potential to derive the electric forces that would allow to establish communication and achieve concrete task such as motility and chemotaxis. We worked out the idea that the static charge concentration of Potassium ions are responsible to drive communications and thus establishing a nanonetworks previous to achieve tasks of colonization among others necessaries to keep the stability of a certain population of bacteria. Finally, we estimate the error bit rate (BER) for a single bacterium of length of a few micrometers. From the results we have found that the robustness of the nanonetworks would depend to some extent in the electrodynamics parameters which have been obtained as consequence of the solution of the Laplace's equation in a cylindrical coordinate system.
