When earthquakes take place, massive amounts of these new microbes we've never seen before come out of the sea floor.

Even the smallest soil sample contains billions of micro organisms, of which microbiologists will have characterized less than 5 per cent.

I get asked all of the time from people, Is it possible to really design microbial ecosystems?

So if you look at the green data points, which is air that's outside, you'll see that there's a large amount of microbial diversity, or variety of microbial types.

Our ocean's teaming with microbes in fact, when Craig Venter went and sequenced the microbes in the ocean, in the first three months tripled the known species on the planet by discovering all new microbes in the first 20 feet of water.

They've been here for billions of years, and what they are are single celled microscopic organisms.

Our desks, our computers, our pencils, our buildings all harbor resident microbial landscapes.

Although the biological work was initiated by Iraq in the 1970s, at that stage it was focused on general research into the basic parameters and characteristics of different micro organisms but, in general, not exclusively those traditionally associated with biological warfare.

Imagine designing with the kinds of microbes that we want in a plane or on a phone.

Some people have estimated that the biomass tied up in these microbes living in the pours and the cracks of the sea floor and below rival the total amount of living biomass at the surface of the planet.

In addition, the Division annually collects industrial commodity production statistics, including physical production data for 530 goods and monthly physical production data for 10 goods.

(3) foods that contain pathogenic parasites, microorganisms or an amount of microbial toxin exceeding the tolerance prescribed by the State

And then we're ready to add the living organism.

This matrix self assembles, growing through and around the particles, making millions and millions of tiny fibers.

What has been the impact of the national policy on the education of girls, and what strategic actions have been successful?

Most people don't realize it, because they're invisible, but microbes make up about a half of the Earth's biomass, whereas all animals only make up about one one thousandth of all the biomass.

It has microbes on it that are commonly associated with our skin and with our mouth, our spit.

You need the bacteria to fix nitrogen, and without those microorganisms, you won't have any performance at all.

The Panel notes that the mudflats are characterized by low levels of oil contamination, and the evidence provided is not sufficient to demonstrate that the contamination is causing environmental damage.

There are thousands of microbes there.

Add (cultures only) after each microorganism in the list.

(d) Control over the biological safety of foodstuffs by means of standard methods of microbiological analysis.

In that one single piece of ice, you have 300 species of microorganisms.

There are microbes, you know go back to yeast.

It's just very, very tiny, and there's lots of biophysical challenges with trying to compute information with tiny, tiny neurons.

The paleontologists themselves looked a bit more closely at the accompanying microfauna that lived in the same time and place as the hominids.

There's a new microbe, I just discovered it.

This is actually just a microorganism.

Now you could ask well, what about these Avidians?

We filter through some simple apparatuses we collect on the order of a billion microbes from just a day filtering on top of a building in New York City.

The data points that are closer together have microbial communities that are more similar than data points that are far apart.

Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes, and these creatures define who we are.

And inside these wells, then microbial communities begin to form.

The new nitrogen can promote the growth of algae and other organisms.

A joint UNICEF WHO nationwide micro nutrient survey is planned for the second half of 1998.

e. For China's national legal framework and enforcement measures with regard to securing the storage of biological weapons and related materials, see the Tentative Measures of the People's Republic of China on the Stockpiling and Management of Veterinary Bacteria Cultures, the Measures of the People's Republic of China on the Stockpiling and Management of Medical Bacteria Cultures, and the General Biosafety Standard for Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories.

And the what, I think, is that we returned, over and over again, to the Pre Cambrian world, that first microbial age, and the microbes are still out there.

As a kid, I watched a lot of television and had lots of nerdy hobbies like mineralogy and microbiology and the space program and a little bit of politics.

What excites me about using microbes is their efficiency.

The article provides for the possible exclusion from patentability of certain innovations in order to protect human, animal or plant life or health other than micro organisms, and essentially biological processes for the production of plants and animals other than non biological and microbiological processes.

There are microbes out there that actually make gasoline, believe it or not.

Another set of bacteria live off these sulphides, coating the bones in thick mats.

DHAKA We humans do not only share the planet with a range of other species, including plants, animals, and even microbes we also depend on them for our survival. Can we determine the economic value of protecting the natural world?
