Bioscience:Microbial Interactions
For the most part, we and other multicellular organisms enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship with microorganisms. A single tree may be home to a hundred species — insects, birds, plants, vines, and thousands of species of microbes. Virtually all the recycling in the forest is done by microbes. Cows wouldn't have the capacity to break down cellulose without microbes in their digestive tracts. What will you think if you begin to understand all life depends for its very existence on creatures which few of us have ever seen? In this program, we'll explore the long-evolving relationship between microorganisms and multicellular organisms and the various natures of those relationships.
