GEO GIRL making whole videos to follow up on a comment 👌💯💯💯

Thank you for your interest in microbes. Thanks also for your in depth explanation of the different cycles. That was really cool and very interesting! I live in an intensely farmed area of the country. It's mostly huge farms of thousands of acres each. There are no small farms anymore at all around here. They have bulldozed all of the trees, burned them in brush-piles, and now everything is irrigated with center-pivot systems. This leaves the once dark, rich, prairie soil, looking bleached and lifeless. Kind of like the thumbnail for this video. I have said for years that they have killed their soil! I see now in reality that what they have destroyed is their microbes! I hope that one day in the near future, that videos like this will educate the right people and make the changes we need. Thank you again for your videos. I have watched most of them, but this one hit real close to home for me.

Those fields will soon be unproductive. To regenerate them, it will need herds. The soil needs the herds' depositions to regenerate. It will be very hard in the beginning for lack of food and, most likely, water, too. In my country, field-regenerating techniques usually include building a lot of interconnected ponds and dividing fences. For instance, you may need to regenerate100 HA of terrain. Your herd (e.g, sheep) will need to feed from one fenced HA of terrain, but food depletion will make you move the herd to another HA soon, most likely the next day. Each HA needs its own pond, fed with water from the other ponds (via gravity or solar-fed pumps). After 100 days, all the 100 HA production has been consumed by the herd, but the first HA's have grown food again, so the cycle restarts.

Very interesting. Was surprised to get a biology lecture from a Geologist. Made me realize how dependent we are on our biosphere, right down to the level of microbes.

Thank you Geo girl for giving me another angel to think of

Almost a lecture straight out of my microbiology course. Very nicely presented. There are only a couple things I would add. Not only does metabolism fix elements a d make important molecules needed for life systems, it also creates the immediate environment for processes to happen, like set the pH and local aerobic and anaerobic levels that make biochemical processes possible. Since these organisms live in close association one microbes waste products are another's required compounds. Some organisms likewise synthesize coenzyme for whole communities. Really enjoyed the talk.

I've recently made a point to start intentionally studying the biogeochemical cycles because they are so important to understand the bigger picture of earth systems, but my god it gets complex once you get past the basic mainstream surface level explanations. It really is a good way to learn overlaps in biology (zoology/botany), geology, oceanography, limnology, atmospheric science and chemistry to gain a basic holistic understanding of the earth. ADD slows learning down sometimes, it's like being a moth attracted to any random light that shines, so it's hard to keep focused sometimes, I have to intentionally keep looping back to the same things until the knowledge learned (in my memory) develops further.

Soil. As in dirt. Rock dust, plus microbial life plus plants equals soil. Soil, the living biome in which nutrients are made available. life has such an amazing relationship with nutrient cycles, not relationship but a part, we are a part of the nutrient cycle. I just feel so deeply connected to the way nutrients and energy flows, and he way life animates itself in different form in accordance the type of chemical process at play. It's hard not to be forced to stop and just wait, admire the amazing way all this has shaped up to be.

Thanks for the video. Since you study sedimentation, can you do a video on using microbes to speed up the carbon-silicate cycle and how it relates to our efforts to sequester carbon through "enhanced rock weathering"? Especially interesting would be the microbial production of carbonic anhydrase catalyst as a way to speed up the rate limiting step. A bonus would be any geological examples or learnings from the recently discovered hot springs microbes whose carbonic anhydrase is now the most effective known (pushing our human enzyme version to 2nd place.)

Thank you for this video. I watch your videos for geology, and geochemistry. I have been an organic chemist for over 40 years. My minor was biochem (I can draw the Calvin cycle in my sleep). I didn't think I would learn anything in this one. As an organic chemist I always dealt with reduced forms of carbon. CO2 to me was just the waste product of metabolism and feedstock of photosynthesis. Your picture, at 11:35 minutes, of a CO2 molecule flying across the water was a revelation to me. I had never thought of CO2 being crucial in transporting carbon atoms around the world. Thanks.

Yes, CO2 transport is an essential part of the carbon cycle! It is unfortunately that most media these days depicts CO2 as a 'bad' thing, when really it is essential and it is only the rate at which we are releasing it that throws the cycle out of balance. But yes, reduced carbon is also incredibly important for life and completes the C cycle ;)

Absolutely! We have identified so many 'biosignatures' that could indicate the presence of life on other worlds, some of which we have found on mars, in enceladus's plumes, and potentially the surface of europa, but the only problem right now is that the biosignatures we have seen on these other worlds are signatures that could potentially be formed by abiotic processes as well, so the task now is to confirm the mechanisms producing such signatures on these worlds. In other words, we need to go back to these places and look for more robust biosignatures! ;D

Tiny correction: microbes AND fungi 'run the world'. Breaking down the rock to make soil possible required both phagocytes and miniature levers. Most nitrogen-fixing is done by legumes. They gather it in their roots to make it available for distribution to those two agents.

One of NHSMs biggest contributors recently passed away, and I have the honor of putting his collection into ours.

E. coli in our small-intestines is critical to the proper digestion of food.

".... because they are the only things that convert atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen compounds that are usable by other life." There's actually another natural process that can fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to living things, lightning. Lighting bolts going through our nitrogen and oxygen rich atmosphere produce a lot of nitric and nitrous oxydes, which are then dissolved in rain water and precipitated in soil. I don't know what percentage of nitrogen is fixed in this way, but I bet it's a significant one.

I understand this is how life that evolved before N fixing bacteria got their N, but the only problem was it wasn't a lot of N that got fixed this way. I've read only about 5 up to 10% of N is fixed by lightening so it is mostly microbially fixed, but it does contribute! ;)

I've only watched the outline so far but I can't help but comment that you didn't mention that microbes occupy physical space , are little balloons of water, and completely change the way that water moves through the medium (be it soil, rock, sand, etc.) because they block the flow of water, hold water up where it would normally runoff, things like that. Therefore microbes are responsible for making water available for plants, not because of a chemical process, but because they hold the water where the plants can reach it. Of course the chemical environment is so interesting and important , but so much is just the physical object that a microbe is. (in the same way that a tree provides a physical environment with shade , protection, food sources, )

There is debate on the 'living' status of viruses but they are a significant medium of energy and resources diverted into biological feedback for adaptation. And in some cases genetic exchange/modification. It is an ancient war of living vs nanoborg on a massive scale but largely invisible.

yes, photosynthesis converts water into oxygen but, half of that oxygen comes from CO₂ if you count the O atoms 6H₂O + 6CO₂ => C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ 6 O₂ molecules are formed which need 12 O atoms but 6 H₂O molecules only contain 6 O atoms so, the other 6 come from the 6 CO₂ molecules what happens is that as an intermediary step an O atom is ripped off of a CO₂ molecule and temporarily converted into a H₂O molecule glucose is constructed out of CO molecules H-C-O-H the 2 H atoms coming from the H₂O molecule

I highly recommend the book 'geomicrobiology' by kurt konhauser: amzn.to/46UxINU I have read a lot of bio books but this one was the only one that really simplified the metabolism part for me. But if that's a bit pricy for you, I have a 'geobiology' playlist in which I basically cover as much of Kurt's book as I could: kzread.info/head/PL69bBhmsrgfs2GuFioWkJpO3P_aTjSIkE The playlist covers a lot about how the 'energy' for life works but kind of scattered among many videos. I think the one that most directly discusses this is the redox video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nn5709CTf6utZdo.html but that one is a bit old and I wasn't that great at explaining things yet lol, the other one that may be good is the anaerobe to aerobe video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6yplLmtdKu3ncY.html or the first life: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqiro9mEfLbSfc4.html or the 'life without oxygen' video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHlsrtKipLLIebQ.html because those cover various pathways of metabolisms carried out by microbes that may help to illustrate the process of how they gain energy. However, if you are interested more in the actual electron transport and enzymatic processes within the cell, I recomment the brock biology of microorganisms book: amzn.to/3DiIoZm That one is even more pricy than the geomicrobbio one I think, but it does go over the electron transport and ATP production. If you don't want to pay for that though, I highly recommend watching 'crash course' biology videos on youtube and 'ameoba sisters' (the courses look as though they are made for younger audiences, but they carried me through my college biology courses hahaha, so don't underestimate their power) ;) That's all I got, best of luck! ;D
