   Bacteria
   Single-celled organisms that probably provide the bulk of the biomass on our planet. There are more bacterial cells within your body than human cells. One of the most interesting things about bacteria is that our macroscopic concepts of 'species' are rather inappropriate - genetic material can be swapped from one 'species' to another with disturbing ease, leading some scientists to call all bacteria a single 'superorganism'. The fantastic durability and longevity of bacteria (some concentrate pl...
