Hip Hop Microbes
Prochlorococcus tiny cells in the ocean
Fix CO2 and expel for us oxygen.
Vibrio cholerae make just a quick visit
From copepods, they bust through your gut in a minute.
Halobacterium archaea love brine
Levels of sodium that kill fish and swine.
Bacillus anthracis
resistant to the elements,
hard to disinfect,
four different kinds of deadly impediments.
Ingest, inhale, absorb and inject,
necrosis is absolutely no small defect
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron dominates your gut,
manipulates host's genome and breaks down sugars.
But it's resistant to antimicrobial agents, and that ain't good.
Pyrodictium lives in the thermal vents at the bottom of the sea,
because of its extreme environment it remains a mystery.
