Microbe Zoo
Here's one zoo I'm certain you've never visited before: it's the Microbe Zoo. "Microbial ecology is a rapidly developing scientific discipline. The reasons for this include the realization that microbes are essential for a healthy environment; they are important in helping us understand the mechanics of evolution; and they are important in biotechnology."
