Micro*scope - Microbes were the only living things for most of the history of the Earth. Over 3.5 billion years ago they began the process of transforming this planet, making it habitable for those of us who came later. Bacteria and protists remain the dominant players in most known ecosystems. The numbers of bacteria and protists in the world is staggering - a single teaspoonful of sea water contains millions of bacteria and thousands of protists. The study of microbial communities is essential if we are to understand and manage the world around us and such studies prepare us for the exploration for life on other planets. This site has images of microbes, classification schemes, descriptions of organisms, talks and other educational resources to improve awareness of the biodiversity of our microbial partners.
