Dylan shares his knowledge!

This is some information we hadn't mentioned in class yet.
Microbes inhabit almost every niche you can think of, from 20 miles beneath the Earth's surface to 20 miles overhead.
They live at temperatures less than -20 degrees Celsius to temperatures hotter than the boiling point. Microbes thrive on
a huge range of foods including oil and toxic wastes. Many millions of moving microbes make a mighty living munching
manure in the soil. Each gram of soil may contain up to 1,000,000,000 or more microbes. That's as many microbes in a
single gram of soil as there are people in all of China! Ponds are home to a huge variety of microbes that represent
nearly all kingdoms of life.
