Not pictured: Antartica

These are the various "stamps" I've collected on my passport. Click on each picture to see where it correlates to on the map above! Each "stamp" contains a little bit of information on why this location was included on my microbe map. There are three pictures per location, so pictures from the same location have the same information.

As you can see, microbes can be found in every corner of the earth, and it has taken scientiss from all over the world in order to unlock their mysteries. Microbiology really is a global science, and I have really enjoyed how this class has allowed me to see just how expansive this field really is. through this course, i've gotten to study abroad from the comfort of Gainesville, and really see such a diversity of locations for these microbes. I thin it would b really cool to explore some of the topics that Dr. oli's study abroad program looks at. I think this class would really benefit from looking at some foodmicrobiology processes, including bread and cheese productions, as well as alcohol and wine fermentation, and how these processes vary based on regions in order to give each country it's unique perspective on fermented food.

Cave of Crystals, Mexico At first look, scientists thought that these caves were void of any life - microbial or not. However, what they discovered is that this cave is home to millions of viruses! What's amazing is that these viruses survived even after being closed off from the environment for thousands of years.

However, these "blood" stains actually just came from a red pigmented microbe, Serretia.	Lebanon When Macedonians found red stains on their bread, they thought it was blood.

Soda Lake, Eygpt The Soda Lakes in Egypt are very basic, and have a pH content of around 11. Natronomas is an extremophile able to survive at such high pH levels. It does so by incorporating ammonia into the cell.	Soda Lake, Eygpt The Soda Lakes in Egypt are very basic, and have a pH content of around 11.

Gainesville, Fl This was our very first field trip in the course, and the very first time I got to meet Dr. Oli - in the microbiology lab! We took a look at what different microbes we could find in a droplet of water. We ended up finding all sorts of life forms, including parameciums, rotifers, and even amoebas.
