title: [Bacterial colony as a complex community].
abstract: Information on the adaptive behavior of cells in the process of the formation of a colony by bacteria Shigella flexneri Rd, used as a model, was obtained with the use of light, transmission and scanning microscopy. The process of the formation of a microcolony was demonstrated; at the initial stages (8 hours) it included 3 groups of cells, and 24 hours later it exhibited sharply defined structurization. The conclusion was made on the possibility of the joint use of different methods of microscopy for the study of the development of microcolonies and colonies of bacteria.
