It's different when a bacteria comes into the body that's a foreign object we want that out.

This is a really odd one. This is Ferroplasma.

Well preserved bacteria older than 3.46 billion years have been found in Western Australia.

So what you're seeing here is the bacteria metabolizing, and as they do so they create an electrical charge.

And speaking of bacteria, do you realize that each of us carries in our gut more bacteria than there are cells in the rest of our body?

This cell is looking for foreign objects, bacteria, things that it can find.

In 1909, it was not yet established that the coccobacillus was solely the cause.

Once you find that one out of a billion, you infect it into a bacteria, and make millions and billions of copies of that particular sequence.

And it says a bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size.

Certain compounds of germanium have low toxicity to mammals, but have toxic effects against certain bacteria.

A high proportion remains undescribed, in particular those animals that do not contain symbiotic bacteria.

They're a tiny fraction of an inch long, and they can carry on their little legs some of the cholera bacteria that then leads to human disease.

If we'd evolved in a vacuum, we would expect them to hit the ground simultaneously.

They have their own tests, of course, and so they tested her for over 70 different assays, for every sort of bacteria and fungus and viral assay you can buy off the shelf
