summary
We often talk about viruses because it causes many diseases for us. Viruses can infect all types of creatures. It lives inside our cells. Bacteria and virus are the same microorganisms though bacteria don't hurt us. Our lives depend upon bacteria. In our mouth and throat, it's symbiotically necessary. It helps to be healthy, creates fertile soil and cleans the ocean.
However, we don't mostly know about it. In fact, bacteria are being a frontier of biology. It is so strange like it exists on another planet that it can be thought that we can find aliens among bacteria. And then, we unfortunately destroy these ecosystems and species. Our experience exposes the bacteria at the perils repeatedly. It obviously runs on the road of disappearing it forever.
Nowadays, scientists found the new genomic technology to aid them. The speaker tells us building an encyclopedia on the internet which everyone can join. He and we strongly think that it leads to searching for life, to understanding it and to being able to preserve it. We should know about our beautiful earth to save more.
