  1. This our newly updated bacteria video! Find our old one, from several years ago, here: https://youtu.be/kxM_9DL2GYw So what has changed in this updated video? Well, Petunia's art has come a long way as we continue to try to get better. And this video has additional info about endospores, conjugation, binary fission, and transformation that aren't mentioned in the old video.

  2. Hello Amoeba Sisters! It is me-Professor Beata Yacura-Your autistic scientist!???‍??????

    I have 4 questions, do good bacteria know humans, animals, and plants can get infected by bad bacteria and bad viruses? If they do, how do they know? Do bad bacteria know they infecting humans because they don’t like them? If they are, them why why are they mutating to become resistant??
    Let me know if you have any answers. Or I can search it up on Google.?

    Talk to you later!?

  3. I just wanna say, I've been panicking all day due to my biology exam in a couple hours, the last biology one for this year, and where I really need the marks.
    Just sitting here going over notes, before I head out, and listening to you going over different subjects has actually relaxed me a ton, so cheers for that!
    Have a great day!

  4. My friend is germaphobic he is determent to be so clean that bacteria will die, i told him that microbes like mold, bacteria, amoeba, and others are everywhere even at the cleanest spot, he didn't believe me

  5. I don’t know if you here this enough, but these videos have helped me so much throughout my freshman year, whether I watched these willingly trying to catch up on a missed class or being forced to watch them in bio. These videos have also helped me to prepare for the dreaded state exams that most kids just “half-ass”-my English teacher. These videos save me a lot of time and about 3 anxiety attacks I have from missing a lesson. So, thank you for using an entertainment platform to educate students. You saved my grade lol.
