8)Bacteria trade genes as easily as human trade gifts.

5)The smallest known bacteria are so tiny that they were once thought to be viruses (Mycoplasmas).

6)Oldest living Microbes: 250 million-year-old bacteria spores have been revived. In 2000, scientists told that they had revived bacteria that had lain in suspended animation for 250 million years, encased in salt crystals deep in the Earth.

7)In 1918 more people died from the influenza virus (approximately 30 million) than died in the First World War (10 million).

8)Microbes generate at least half the oxygen we breathe.

9)10If a single bacterium (10 to power minus 12 gram with a generation time of 20 min would, if it continued to grow exponentially for 48 hour, produce a population that weighed about 4000 times the weight of the earth.
