These vibrios, these bacteria, can actually infect people.

Those fungi and bacteria are as highly evolved as humans.

And that is the species of organism that is responsible for causing cholera.

At the end of 1987, the scope of the biological weapons work was further expanded and research into additional bacterial agents, such as Clostridium perfringens and fungal toxins, such as trichothecene mycotoxins, was carried out.

The Armillaria is actually a predatory fungus, killing certain species of trees in the forest.

And the focus when I'm talking about the diarrheal organisms, as well as the focus when I'm talking about any organisms that cause acute infectious disease, is to think about the problem from a germ's point of view, germ's eye view.

You get fungi, you get fish, you get plants, you get amphibia, you get reptiles, and then, of course, you get the dinosaurs.

Lichens arose as a co op. Fungi married algae ...

The danger is that some germ like staph will be will mutate into something that's really virulent, very contagious, and will sweep through populations before we can do anything about it.

Whether the humans survive or don't survive, these things are going to be living on this planet or other planets.

Consider the fungi including mushrooms, rusts, molds and many disease causing organisms.

For most types of bacteria, the analysis can be completed in eight hours.43

The atmosphere has become so polluted with germs... that it can no longer be breathed.

A new global epidemic. People have been at war with germs ever since there have been people, and from time to time, the germs sure get the upper hand.

The bacterial genes express proteins that are toxic to corn boring insects, but that are harmless to birds, fish, and mammals, including humans. As the modified corn fends off insect pests, it also reduces the levels of the mold Fusarium, thereby reducing the levels of fumonisin.

And along comes pneumococcus or another bacteria, streptococcus and boom, they get a bacterial pneumonia.

I know you think of yourself as human beings, but I think of you as 90 or 99 percent bacterial.

They all have a species specific system they have a molecule that says me.

This is a really odd one. This is Ferroplasma.

Bacteria have been on the Earth for billions of years humans, couple hundred thousand.

There's one last elephant in the room, the proteins themselves, which come from algae and bacteria and fungi, and all over the tree of life.

I want to present to you a suite of six mycological solutions, using fungi, and these solutions are based on mycelium.

Preserving the genome of these fungi in the old growth forest I think is absolutely critical for human health.

And in the case of the flora in our gut, these cells may not even be human.

And we know staph can do amazing things.

One of the interesting things about these particular guys is that they're in the actinomycete and streptomycete groups of the bacteria, which is where we get most of our antibiotics.

Fungi don't like to rot from bacteria, and so our best antibiotics come from fungi.

And so far in the H5N1 cases in people, similarly bacterial infection has not been an issue at all.

I actually chased the mycelium, when it stopped producing spores.

Dr Noah's bacillus? Now, Jimmy, even you wouldn't release germ warfare.

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.

Each bacteria uses a particular molecule that's its language that allows it to count its own siblings.

The large scale existence of these photosynthetic bacteria (capable of using light to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water) and algae also has implications for global warming, among other things.

So, fungi and mycelium sequester carbon dioxide in the form of calcium oxalates.

The mycelium absorbs the oil.

And so, as I was thinking about this, I focused on this organism, which is the El Tor biotype of the organism called Vibrio cholerae.

When humans began to move out of Africa, they carried some of their pathogens to new areas, where they switched over to native hosts while native pathogens took up residence in the newly arrived humans. Agriculture and urbanization subsequently exposed us to yet more pathogens.

(c) Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction (BWC)

I became interested in entomopathogenic fungi fungi that kill insects.

And what you're looking at with this namibiensis is the biggest bacteria we've ever seen.

A virus grabbed onto a bacterium and it slipped its DNA into it.

So, if all goes well, they're going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels.

मह स क रमण क दमन करन

What?

You're just a fungus!
