From wine and cheese , through tuberculosis and AIDS, our microbial companions have shaped human destiny. In natural environments, microbes survive extreme changes in their environment.

Bacterial structures, such as DNA replication, ATPase, and cell division, are understood at the molecular level. Microbes in ecosystems.
