To ask a microbe that lives like that to grow in our petri dishes is to ask them to adapt to our frenetic, Sun-centric, fast way of living, and maybe they've got better things to do than that.
Pedir a um micro-organismo para crescer nas placas de Petri vivendo dessa forma é pedir-lhe que se adapte ao estilo de vida centrado no Sol, e ele talvez tenha coisas melhores a fazer.
