Tiny bacteria choreograph Earth’s chemistry, climate, and life.
Bacteria outnumber human cells on Earth by about 10 to 1 in every grain of soil.
So-called 'junk' DNA in bacteria encodes regulatory networks rivaling human brain complexity in miniature.
Microbes communicate using light and sound signals, influencing community behavior without any single organism dominating.
Bacteria can store memories of past threats in heritable, non-genetic changes that spread through colonies faster than mutations.
