Microbial communities, although they contain the largest number of species and make the largest biomass of the world, are often unobserved. This channel provides brief videomicrographs of these tiny critters.

I am a scientist. My fields of research are microbial genetics and microbial ecology. Using a Field Microscope, I study communities of microorganisms in such places as salt marshes and hot springs.
