      Microbiology: The study of living things too small to see with the naked eye

      The four main divisions of life are bacteria, archea, eukaryota, and viruses

      Each division’s DNA is more similar to its own than to any of the other three

      Bacteria

      Were the first cells on Earth

      Contain over 50 different phyla (major groupings)

      Are the most abundant form of life

      People have more bacteria growing on/in them than they have human cells

      Incredibly diverse

      There are thousands of different species in one gram of soil

      Live in most environments, including on land, in the deep sea, and underground

      Archaea

      Relatively uncommon
