Giant Microbes Common Cold Petri Dish

Soup's on! At least that's what the flesh-eating disease hears after it literally gets under your skin. Caused by manic strains of the same bacteria that cause strep throat, Streptococcus pyogenes spreads so rapidly that it can consume an inch of flesh per hour. The process is extremely painful and if not treated quickly with antibiotics and removal of infected areas, will result in morality rates as high as 73%. So, if you get a skin injury - even as small as a pinprick - that hurts way too much accompanied by flu-like symptoms and purplish blisters, you just might be on the menu!


Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.



GIANTmicrobes - Flesh-eating Disease measures approximately 5 1/2 inches long and is about 3 1/2 inches around.

GIANTMICROBES - T4

GIANTMICROBES - T4The T4 bacteriophage is a very interesting virus. Its job is to attack the E. coli bacteria. Once it locates its intended victim, T4 uses the end of its tail tube to penetrate the outer membrane of the cell. It then begins to replicate DNA using its high-speed copying mechanism. It then forms new T4 virus particles and completes the process when the host cell bursts open ejecting the newly created viruses into the environment. Several Noble Prize winners have worked with T4 in scientific endeavors to aid humanity. Let's hope they keep up the good work!


Each GIANTmicrobe comes with a picture and information about the real microbe it represents. Great as a fun gift, GIANTmicrobes also make outstanding visual educational tools.



GIANTmicrobes - T4 measures approximately 9 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide.
