Summary:"Unlike cells in higher organisms, whose environment is tightly regulated by the body, microbial cells are directly affected by their immediate environment. They employ unique mechanisms to survive in the face of often drastic changes in nutrient availability, temperature, salinity and other factors that affect their physiological state. Understanding the physiology of a microbial cell therefore requires an understanding of how microbes interact with their environment, including the building of microbial communities and the evolution of different cellular states that allow bacteria to survive in even the most hostile environments"--
