Are Wolbachia the most progressive bacteria?

It's a pretty cool genus. My favorite professor is a fruit fly geneticist and I'm a microbiology major. She talks about it all the time in her entomology class.

You're in the club and this guy shows your girl how he can survive through extreme radiation, cold, dehydration, vacuum, and acid better than any other organism on the planet. What do you do?

I had a lab course with air sampling. We further cultivated a pink colony and it turned out to be (according to DNA sequencing) to be some deinococcus variant that only were known to exist in quarries in china, or something similar. God knows how it ended up in sweden.

Maybe it has something to do with the millions of somali quarry workers you've imported.

I'm a molecular biologist, but it's a pleb field full of retards like me who weren't smart enough for engineering.

You know, I was starting to wonder how and when China was going to destroy the world. Apparently it's biological warfare and right now.

All life on Earth is related in the end.
I mean you can pinpoint with varying degrees of accuracy the point we split from any other organism on the planet.

It's so weird though, I stand here knowing they exist, but do they acknowledge me, their long lost cousin?

They probably know to some degree. Most animals lack a proper tribe mentality.

I remember when I was a kid and the only one who didn't believe in god in my class (I come from a very catholic country.) So my teacher asked me where did I think we came from if God didn't create us. I said something like "microbes" and she looked at me like I was fucking stupid.

Some poor fucks blood with Trypanosoma in it.

Fuck yeah, microbes rock. I'm working with malaria lately though.
