About this deck

Microbes outnumber human cells in your body roughly one to one — the older 10:1 estimate has been revised down by Sender, Fuchs, and Milo (2016). Either way, you are about half microbe. The biosphere has always been their planet; we are recent guests. Key sections include: Micro biology.; Opening The planet runs on them.; Chapter I The first microscopist.; Chapter II Louis Pasteur.; Chapter III Robert Koch & germ theory.; Chapter IV Koch's postulates.; Chapter V The naming.; Chapter VI Bacteria.; Chapter VII The third domain.; Chapter VIII Viruses — alive?.
