Vášnivé zahradnici v malém městečku poslali z jakéhosi tichomořského ostrova vzácnou květinu. A s ní připutovala larva neznámého, prudce toxického hmyzu. Jejího přítele převezli do místní nemocnice, kde se nákaza začala šířit mezi pacienty. Navíc, díky nezbedným dětem se larva dostala do styku s růstovým hormonem. Sameček neznámého hmyzu je dva metry vysoký, a protože je hermafrodit, zplodí si samičku a okamžitě začnou pracovat na potomstvu. To se ale musí krmit. A kde jinde vzít potravu, než mezi pacienty. Lidé umírají hroznou smrtí, nemocnice je neprodyšně obklíčena vojáky a každý, kdo se pokusí z nemocnice utéct, je zastřelen. Místní doktorka, detektiv a entomolog musí přijít na způsob, jak zabránit vylíhnutí potomstva a zachránit sebe i ostatní.
True story of the doctor who considered it was not immoral to search for a drug that would cure syphillis.
Dr Sloan suspects that his flame of long ago, famous heart surgeon Dr Rachel Walters, has murdered US Senator Cabot on the occasion of a guest operation at the community hospital. After a long investigation, Sloan and fellow detectives Dr Bentley and Dr Parker discover her motive: Years ago, Cabot had caused a hit-and-run accident that put her daughter into coma. But how did Dr Walters manage to pass the deadly bacteria on to the senator in front of TV cameras?
Coming in all shapes and sizes, bacteria are present in every corner of the Earth. Their purposes and types are even more diverse, with only 1% being truly harmful. Dive into the world of Bacteria to experience the latest discoveries and scientific knowledge surrounding these plentiful and necessary microbes.
Geologist Ian Stewart explain in three stages of natural history the crucial interaction of our very planet's physiology and its unique wildlife. Biological evolution is largely driven bu adaptation to conditions such as climate, soil and irrigation, but biotopes were also shaped by wildlife changing earth's surface and climate significantly, even disregarding human activity.

A making-of documentary about the bioart film Proyecto divergente. The first narrative bioart film starred by bacteria.
Dr George McGavin and Dr Zoe Laughlin set up base camp at one of the UK's biggest sewage works to investigate the revolutionary science finding vital renewable resources and undiscovered life in human waste. Teaming up with world-class scientists, they search for biological entities in sewage with potentially lifesaving medical properties, find out how pee can generate electricity, how gas from poo can fuel a car and how nutrients in waste can help solve the soil crisis. They follow each stage of the sewage treatment process, revealing what the stuff we flush can tell us about how we live today, and the mindboggling biotechnology being harnessed to clean it, making the wastewater safe enough to return to the environment.
The first bioart narrative film. A transposition of War of the worlds in which the visuals are achieved by cultivating bacteria to follow certain patterns on petri dishes in a chemical oven. The narration evokes radio plays.
An exploration of a new paradigm of health, science, and medicine, based on the interconnections between us and nature.
The use of antibiotics has made more and more bacteria resistant to the medicine. Dr Michael Mosley goes in search of the cause and new solutions to overcome the superbugs.
