Microbiological Garden - Welcome
(Ususally there will not be so much text as on this
page!)
A virtual microbiological garden
Almost everybody has visited a zoological or a botanical garden and
was fascinated by exotic animals and wonderful plants.
Microorganisms, however, are not normally noticed, although we
are surrounded by billions of them. Their world is
fascinating, too, if your are able to watch it. The Microbiological
Garden has the purpose to give some insight into the microbial world,
not systematically and complete, but by means of little stories and
pictures of microbes, their life and their environments. An internet-
based
garden seems appropriate for microbes, as we need technical means
to make them visible. You can enter the different stories by
clicking on
one of the pictures at the start window.
microbiological-garden.net is a non-commercial project
hosted by the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine
Environment (ICBM) at the University of Oldenburg in
Germany. Please ask us, if you want to use contents or pictures from
the garden. If you have pictures that would be suited for a little
story, please contact us, too. Publication will include the names of
the photographer. We would appreciate if you could include a link to
microbiological-garden.net on your internet pages.
Navigation through the stories
  
Click on the icons at the bottom. The right arrow opens the next
page, or - if the last page of a series is reached - jumps back to
the first one. The red button in the middle leads you back to the
overview. The left arrow guides you back to the previous page, or -
if you are at the first page of a series - back to the overview.
Links on the pages open new windows that can be closed when you are
done.
