Mikroorganismen sind allgegenwArtig. Meist bemerken wir nichts von ihrer Existenz, weil wir sie nicht sehen kAnnen. Nur wenn uns eine bakterielle oder virale Infektion niederwirft, wird uns die Macht dieser Winzlinge schmerzlich bewusst. Andererseits lassen wir uns Tag fA1/4r Tag die FrA1/4chte ihrer unermA1/4dlichen TAtigkeit munden, ob in Form von KAse, Wein oder Joghurt. Die Rollen, die Mikroorganismen spielen, sind so vielfAltig wie das Leben selbst: Sie bauen Rohstoffe auf und Schadstoffe ab, sie vernichten Getreideernten und sanieren BAden, sie sind die Feinde der KrankenhAuser und die Freunde der Gentechnikfirmen. Kein Wunder, dass diese Kleinstlebewesen immer wieder auch den Lauf der Geschichte beeinflusst haben - einmal ganz abgesehen davon, dass ohne sie die Krone der SchApfung wahrscheinlich nie die Gelegenheit bekommen hAtte, sich als solche zu A1/4berschAtzen. Mikroorganismen haben Napoleons Feldzug beendet, entscheidend zur GrA1/4ndung des Staates Israel beigetragen und John F. Kennedy zum amerikanischen PrAsidenten gemacht.
