6 Bacteria With Wild Superpowers

You might just think of bacteria as the little beasties that get us sick-but bacteria are so much more! Through evolution, bacteria have developed some pretty incredible abilities. While they may never star in a big summer movie, here are six bacteria with amazing superpowers. Join Michael Aranda for a new episode of SciShow!

    Chromosome Extract I do not know who you are referring to but this is my own face. I do seem to have several doubles out there, once at a strip club a stripper approached my table looking really pissed off because she thought I was her brother. That was not the first time I was approached by peoples thinking I was someone else, heck I've seen a picture of "myself" on the web outside a PFK in a place I have never been wearing clothes I never wore. Edit: Okay, I found who you were referring too, that could be me younger, weighting a hundred pound more and being drunk or drugged out of my mind.

    The theory that describes our universe is called Big Bang Theory, and there are no other theories. The misconception many people have with the word theory leads to more than a few tin foil hats in the world. A theory is commonly referred to as an idea or thought by many people, whereas in science theories are the epitome of knowledge, often describing why and how the facts that we observe are the way that we observe them. Georges Lemaître is often credited with the discovery that the universe can be traced back to a single location in 1927 and just about all evidence collected since then shows the same. For something to challenge Big Bang Theory someone must explain the evidence already collected more accurately... and noone has done so for nearly a hundred years, Kind of like reinventing the wheel really now that I think about it.

    Daniellec Clarke livestock on antibiotics aren’t put in production pools until they are free of the medication. Meaning that they aren’t slaughtered nor is their milk used. The hormones are not present in quantities that have an effect. Many stories have attributed the rise in precocious puberty to hormones in milk, it’s a catchy story but ultimately false. The main factor in the rise in precocious puberty is the incredible amount of nutrition available to the modern child. Puberty is usually triggered as a child reaches an age/body composition that can support reproductive organ function, historically this was 15-18 200 years ago with the ranges becoming younger( 11-13 today) as people had access to greater amounts of nutrition. If you look at cases of precocious puberty you find children with family history of early puberty and almost always a BMI in the obese range for their age/height.

    What I suggest is that you guys make some scale comparisons of the abilities these bacteria have. Like, how much weight would a human pull if he had as much strength as Neisseria g. for body weight.

    A human could pull about 6.2 gigagrams if they had the same proportional strength. That's about 60 blue whales stacked on top of each other.

    Hey SciShow- Please talk about how astronauts can make O2 using life. I keep seeing astronauts dying in space movies due to lack of oxygen and keep wondering why they don't have plants or genetically engineered oxygen-producing, CO2-consuming bacteria or algae or something. Also, how will real astronauts do it? From big machines or big gardens maybe?

    Susie Martinez Well, one molecule of water is not wet for the definition of "wet" is for something to be saturated with water, also known as getting soaked. For something to be wet there needs to be the object in question and water in contact with said object, in this case our object is a water molecule. Since our object is water but only one molecule of it, it is not wet. But usually when we say water we refer to millions of molecules at a time, in contact with each other. From this conclusion, water is wet.

    The idea of using Latin names is used to create an "universal name", so anywhere you go it'll just be the same. And if you actually look at the translations, those scientific names are actually silly too, but just in another language
