You may even examine fungi, rock formations, mosses, lichens, nests, tracks, and insects. However, it is likely that you are not seeing bacteria even though you may know they are there in countless numbers, far outnumbering the other organisms, and that their influence on the environment is vast and profound.Professor Betsey Dexter Dyer of Wheaton College examines the role of bacteria as major players in Earth's biodiversity. In the course of these fascinating lectures, Professor Dyer delves into the history of microbiology, the four billion year history of bacteria and archaea as the dominant organisms on Earth, and the place of pathogens in the greater context of the bacterial world. This course serves as both a field guide for curious naturalists and a friendly introduction to the world of bacteria and archaea. 6495390 The Modern Scholar: Unseen Diversity: The World of Bacteria (Audiobook) total:4|5:0|4:3|3:0|2:0|1:1| 4 13 4 3 4 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 26 07:28:27 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 07:34:50 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Tue Mar 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 12:52:34 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 12:53:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Mar 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 14:11:51 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 14:13:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 19 23:21:16 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 18:50:59 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 23:21:16 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6310237
