bacteria

Microbes are everywhere! They live on and under the ground. They live in all kinds of water on Earth, even around the hottest deep-sea vents. They even live on and inside your body! Since the advent of powerful microscopes, scientists have been studying our world's smallest denizens. Many people get scared just hearing the words "bacteria," "fungus," and "virus" because of the diseases they cause. However, scientists have discovered many beneficial microbes that actually help support all life on Earth. Geneticists have sequenced the genomes of numerous microbes, extending our knowledge of the organisms and how they affect our lives.

In graphic novel format, follows Max Axiom as he explores the world of bacteria.

"The world is full of tiny viruses and bacteria that can be seen only through a microscope. Some bacteria can be helpful, but others cause diseases such as typhoid fever. Viruses can cause deadly diseases such as COVID-19. Young readers will get all the facts about bacteria and viruses, including their similarities and differences, how they cause infections, and how people can keep dangerous germs from spreading"--.

". . . readers will learn about the science and technology behind the development of antibiotics"--Publisher.

"Have you ever seen a germ up close? Really, really up close? Micrographs and illustrations combine with accessible text to introduce readers to viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi--including COVID-19--that can make people sick"--Provided by publisher.

Immunology is the study of the immune system. The immune system protects the human body from disease. Immunologists study how disease spreads. Discover more in Immunology.

". . . exploration of the science and history of germs . . ."--BTCat.

Defines what bacteria are, their classification, and the difference between good and bad bacteria. Provides information about reproduction, genetic engineering, and biological warfare and discusses diseases that are caused by bacteria, how it is transmitted, and the effectiveness of vaccine against disease. Includes color photographs, a glossary, and an index.

Examines the three main divisions into which members of the diverse Archaea kingdom are grouped according to their unusual biology. Explains why little in general is known about them, and why further classification of Archaea is so difficult.
