Microlife: A World of Micro-Organisms

Product Description

There is more to the living world than simply plants and animals. We share our world with a vast number of tiny living things, many of which can only be seen with the aid of powerful microscpes. Although minute, these micro-organisms have a profound effect on our lives. Many can invade our bodies and those of other animals and plants, causing illness and disease. Others work quietly and unseen, breaking down animal wastes and the remains of dead plants and animals.
