The document summarizes four types of microbes: mycena mushrooms, which are fruiting bodies of fungal decomposers; planctomycetes, which are ubiquitous soil bacteria that independently evolved a nuclear membrane; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an antibiotic and dye producing bacteria; and cyanobacteria Anabaena, a photosynthetic bacteria that forms chain cells and fixes nitrogen in heterocyst cells.
