AB  - This paper reviews the optimization technique, Bacterial Foraging Optimization. The technique derives its working from Bacteria E.coli. The process of foraging is comprised of four mechanisms. The four mechanisms in the BFO algorithm are chemotaxis, swarming, reproduction and elimination-dispersal. This technique has been applied by many researchers for improving the performance of other techniques like genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization etc. or has been used alone to solve optimization problems.
