00:00.000 --> 00:08.000
So I think it's amazing what we're learning about viruses.

00:08.000 --> 00:16.000
Just recently we've had the ability to discover that there are far more viruses than we would have ever imagined.

00:16.000 --> 00:22.000
A number that's a 1 followed by 31 zeros is how many viruses we think there are on planet Earth.

00:22.000 --> 00:29.000
And so this suggests they must be doing something that's absolutely critical to maintain such a high number.

00:29.000 --> 00:36.000
In fact they are, they are killing 40 to 50% of the bacteria in Earth's oceans every day.

00:36.000 --> 00:41.000
And this releases organic molecules that the bacteria have been able to synthesize.

00:41.000 --> 00:50.000
And they are able, bacteria are able to draw certain elements out of the environment and put them into organic compounds.

00:50.000 --> 00:56.000
And higher life depends upon these types of molecules being available to them.

00:56.000 --> 01:06.000
So viruses that kill the bacteria release these organic and biogenic molecules for the use of higher organisms.

01:06.000 --> 01:12.000
And so bacteria contribute in a huge way to the biogeochemical cycles on our planet.

01:12.000 --> 01:13.000
It feels like, yes, that's good.

01:13.000 --> 01:14.000
It's amazing.

01:14.000 --> 01:15.000
Forleo Those are a lot of diseases well.

01:15.000 --> 01:16.000
Forleo Those are one of the animals that we've spawned.

01:16.000 --> 01:17.000
Forleo Those are one of the animals that we can attack on there,

01:17.000 --> 01:18.000
and it doesn't sound like it goes on their Zak jugar-like buat or heСeks.

01:18.000 --> 01:19.000
But AIDS navy has a monthly lifeimpression,

01:19.000 --> 01:20.000
the only way and that's Straße to fix it separately together,

01:20.000 --> 01:22.000
the whole world is thatensely pakistan can contain or a wallet as soon as a Leben peacemaker.

01:22.000 --> 01:23.000
So actually muscle likes ребен and a human being able to sell.

01:23.000 --> 01:34.720
Even how it's not

01:34.720 --> 01:39.080
so
