Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons." 9-02 Papers Bacteria (EarthLife.net) Describes types of bacteria and provides drawings. 11-01 Microbes (Microbe.org) Describes the different types of microbes, including viruses and bacteria. 11-01 Microorganisms and Food (Utah State Office of Education and Utah State Office of Higher Education) Includes yeasts and molds, food borne illnesses, food preservation, and bacteria. 5-02 Vaccines - Improving Vaccines (applesforhealth) Discusses the results of recent research on how to improve the effectiveness of vaccines. 12-01 Viruses - Retroviruses and HIV (Sander) Provides diagrams and explanations regarding the structures of viruses. 5-00 Viruses - The Structures of Viruses (Stannard) Provides diagrams and explanations regarding the structures of viruses. 5-00 Viruses - Transmission Cycle of West Nile Virus (Centers for Disease Control) Describes the transmission cycle of the disease in vertebrates. 8-02 Viruses - West Nile Virus (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Provides a fact sheet on the virus. 12-01 Research Virus May Fight Bacterial Infections (applesforhealth) Describes a research study that shows promise for fighting Strep throat, pneumonia, and other infections that are normally resistant to antibiotics. The virus is engineered to destroy only one type of bacteria, an effective and possibly healthier solution compared to use of conventional antibiotics. Conventional antibiotics attack useful as well as infectious bacteria. 3-01
