The man speaks the truth. Our "zombie" movies nowadays are really just extreme outbreaks of a mutated rabies. A zombie originally was something that was mindless in the sense that it could be controlled, as a slave, by the person who reanimated it. The first 'modern' zombie movie was Night of the Living Dead but that film never said the word zombie once. People later on for some genuinely unknown reason started calling the monsters in it zombies years after it was released. Something like 28 Days Later is just turbo rabies.
But rabies doesn't do the kind of stuff to a person that lots of zombie viruses do to people in these fictional pieces of media. How is something like The Last Of Us fungus infection similar to rabies besides make a person "crazy"?
Yeah except the zombies never attack each other like they would if they were rabid. But considering all the ways parasites can affect behavior, it's definitely plausible enough for a movie. Probably not in real life though.
For those still wondering, the size of the average pin head is roughly 2,000 microns. Using his reference of 2 microns per microbe, roughly 1,000 can fit presumably
Depends on where you live. In desert environments, it's generally the plants themselves making that scent because the soil can't sustain enough microbes to make a meaningful impact. The scent of rain smells different for people living in different regions as a result.
Microbiologist here. Entertaining and informative, but it really makes my head explode to see the random lab glassware filled with water and food coloring. Walt Disney science props.
Shame no one brought up cable bacteria. They do "group respiration" where they share the responsibility of electron exchange using long strings of them lined up where the ones higher in the soil have access to oxygen or sulfur to do the electron exchange for respiration. It's kind of a unique thing and a relatively new discovery. It's one of those that makes mud stink.
That avian flu thing concerning. I'm a med student and our prof just told us dont worry about monkeypox just yet, most of it is mild. Worry about avian flu, its coming hard, coming fast, and coming everywhere.
Antibiotic resistance is the reason you should always finish your antibiotics even if you feel fine, if you stop early there may be survivors that will eventually get resistance. That's partially the reason why there are hospital superbugs that are highly resistant to most or all of our known antibiotics.
Love the automatic captions. Apparently horizontal gene transfer is super important for the revolution. Had we known that all we ever needed to win were microbiologists!

While microbes being able to resist high radiation is fascinating, microwave ovens don't actually use that kind of radiation to cook food. It's a common misconception. The level of normal planetary background radiation is higher than what a microwave oven outputs while in operation.

@jakob1840 Viruses have mutation rates that are orders of magnitude higher than eukaryotes and bacteria. The higher mutation rate in viruses does come at a cost, where a new mutation is likely to be deleterious (lower fitness or less pathogenic) because of pleiotropy (one gene having multiple important functions), but beneficial mutations are certainly possible too. It's likely that higher mutation rates for viruses can be beneficial in a changing environment like the immune system, where a new mutation can lead to the immune system not recognizing the new strain of viruses.
Antiviral resistance definitely exists and is problematic for the same reasons as antibiotic resistance. For clarification, in what context did you hear that?
@@Pazuzu4All Antivirals can kill viruses just like antibiotics can help kill bacteria. Antivirals are not as good because viruses mutate very quickly, faster than bacteria, and develop resistance much faster. An antiviral is very unlikely to be able to cover all strains of a virus (think of the common flu and seasonal flu shots as an example). Another big challenge is that viruses spend most of their time hiding and replicating inside host cells, unlike bacteria which don't go through a cell membrane. Those two factors make it harder for an immune cell to recognize or even find a viral protein or identify an infected cell, giving the virus time to develop resistance and making antivirals more specific in what they can target. The immune system and antivirals provides an enormous selective pressure. Viruses that have a mutation that allows them to bypass an antiviral that targets them are enormously rewarded, leading to future viral progeny to have that same beneficial mutation if the environment has repeated use of the same antiviral.
'... they get into the brains of mice and make mice more susceptible to being eaten by cats' - whoa, let's back up here, you're saying cats have micro-bioweaponry that makes their prey weaker to them? That's crazy. Need details. How many other predators have stuff like this?
It's not the cats that make their prey attractive to them, it's the microbe that's infecting the rats or mice. It causes them to be attracted to cats, which means they are more likely to be eaten by the cats. The organism is now inside the cat. There's a whole life cycle there. Pretty interesting stuff.
another thing you didn´t want to know: a swimming pool with chlorine in it does not smell like the typical swimming pool unless you pee into it. WHat you smell is the result of chlorine reacting with urea.
