Ludger Wess

This was a really interesting read.
The author first gives a brief introduction to bacteria, what they are, how they effect the world and how mankind first discovered and began learning about them.
He then breaks out categories, such as record holders or dangerous bacteria and goes on to provide snapshots of fifty different organisms.
He delves into not only what they currently do, but also what mankind might use them to do.
Some are already eating plastic and helping fight cancer, but he holds out the chance that they might just be part of the solution to climate change as well.
His enthusiasm for the subject is as infectious as some of his actual subjects are.
A great read… (mehr)
