* Microbiology Starter Deck
NEW 2025 – (Sample Cards | Download game and rules* | Purchase)…
This deck, hosted by the Michael Smith Laboratories, is a STARTER deck for a hand building game that looks at biodiversity in the microbial world. This includes bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and protists, as well as highlighting the myriad of roles microbes play in our living world (both good and bad)!
*Note that the game is played in similar fashion to the Phylo GSA deck and the Phylo WWEST WISE deck (see game play here), (see downloadable rules above for more details).

Pseudomonas denitrificans is a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium that performs denitrification. It was first isolated from garden soil in Vienna, Austria. It overproduces cobalamin (vitamin B12), which it uses for methionine synthesis[1] and it has been used for manufacture of the vitamin.[2] Scientists at Rhône-Poulenc Rorer took a genetically engineered strain of the bacteria, in which eight of the cob genes involved in the biosynthesis of the vitamin had been overexpressed, to establish the complete […] read more
