    Micorbes are difficult to see, and the most modern methods that scientists use to see them are so far only available to professional laboratories. But good oll petri dish culturing is still a good way to see microbes. To see the how microbe communities work, we can use computer simulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

    How fast do bacteria reproduce?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

    The speed at which bacteria reproduce is due to their ability to divide. One cell divides into two, which divide into four and so on. This is called exponential growth. Imagine that a single bacterial cell is transferred from your phone screen to your finger, and from there to your nose. The nose is a perfect environment. Now the cell divides every 20 minutes. How many bacteria are there in your nose 24 hours later? How long does it take to get to a million bacteria?<\/p>\n
