【内容简介】

100℃的土壤里，植物为什么能存活？蚂蚁为什么会在巢穴里种真菌？鲸吃虾时怎么剥壳？不洗手或勤洗手，都容易让人生病？身材的胖瘦，与肠胃微生物群落有关？细菌可以改变人的心情？……

借助大量生动的实例，法国国家自然历史博物馆教授马克-安德烈·瑟罗斯在书中讨论了微生物共生，向我们展现了微生物如何在动植物体内生活，帮助它们完成各种时常关乎性命的任务，以及微生物如何影响人类的行为和文化。我们会发现，微生物无处不在，它们不仅仅与疾病或物质腐烂有关，还秘密地参与构造了植物、动物和文明。

【 Content Introduction 】

Why can plants survive in 100℃ soil? Why do ants grow fungi in their nests? How do whales shuck shrimp when they eat them? Don't wash your hands, or wash your hands often, can make you sick? Body fat and thin, related to gastrointestinal microbiome? Can bacteria change your mood? ...

With vivid examples, Marc-Andre Serros, a professor at the French National Museum of Natural History, discusses microbial symbiosis, showing us how microbes live inside plants and animals, helping them perform tasks that are often vital to their lives, and how they influence human behavior and culture. We will find that microbes are everywhere, not only involved in disease or decay, but also secretly involved in the construction of plants, animals and civilizations.
