[Pil-pc-oceania] Interesting analogy of humans

[Daniel Rossi]

I just came across this really interesting site on microbes. This is  
the life cycle of bacteria it sounds kinda freakily uncanny to us and/ 
or where we could be heading. Which makes me think of course the laws  
of nature apply to everything.

"
LAG PHASE: Growth is slow at first, while the "bugs" acclimate to the  
food and nutrients in their new habitat.
LOG PHASE: Once the metabolic machinery is running, they start  
multiplying exponentially, doubling in number every few minutes.

STATIONARY PHASE: As more and more bugs are competing for dwindling  
food and nutrients, booming growth stops and the number of bacteria  
stabilizes.

DEATH PHASE: Toxic waste products build up, food is depleted and the  
bugs begin to die."

This could be put into a neat animation :)



This also might be of interest especially for your soil and compost  
microbes at threat by these critters. I had no idea about phages. Anti- 
biotic alternative :)
