Document Summary

Multicellular organisms depend on other units in the organism. When conditions aren"t right, the organism can shut down its metabolic processes and protects its dna until conditions are right. Important when trying to study colonies that may be contaminated with other organisms. The 1% are the types of bacteria that cause disease. Sulfate and ammonia are used as nutrient sources for plants. Bacteria cannot survive in the acidic environment of pickles and sauerkraut. Some bacteria can metabolize radioactive waste or use the help of other bacteria to help convert the pollutants to a different form for metabolism. Van leeuwenhoek used crude microscope to observe organisms in water. Endospore is like a dehydrated state of the microbe. Let meat incubate in water, which became cloudy. Took the same types of infusions and boiled them, then covered it. There must be things in the air that contribute to this "spontaneous generation"
