Explore the fascinating world of microorganisms and their profound impact on our planet in this 16-minute TEDx talk by Dr. Pooja Shivanand Breh. Discover how these invisible life forms, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae, have shaped Earth's ecosystems and continue to play crucial roles in various aspects of our lives. Learn about their remarkable adaptability to extreme environments, their ability to consume toxic substances, and their importance in decomposition, soil fertility, and global gas cycles. Gain insights into how microbes serve as models for understanding evolution, ecology, and biological interactions, as well as their applications in industry, food production, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biofuels. Delve into the microbial communities within and around us, and understand how they contribute to our identity. Dr. Breh, an Assistant Professor and Programme Leader at Universiti Brunei Darussalam, brings her expertise in biotechnology and environmental microbiology to illuminate the "infinitely great" role of these infinitesimally small organisms in nature.
