Human Survival and The Virus
"The single greatest threat to man’s continued existence on earth is the virus."
Kitchen sponge microbes. Kitchen sponges can accumulate food and microbes when used for long periods of time and are not thoroughly cleaned. The moisture and food particles in a dirty sponge make it a perfect environment for microorganisms to grow (such as bacteria and fungi). Their waste products give the sponge a distinctive smell. Features shown in this photomicrograph are: sponge surface (green); bacteria (rod-shaped - light purple and blue colors); filamentous fungi (thin and thick filaments - pink and dark purple colors); yeast fungi (round spheres - yellow color).
