Has anyone actually observed the entire life of a virus or bacteria?
In addition, has anyone ever noticed if tiny organisms, viruses or bacteria have life styles and habits? You would have to take a "family" or culture, place it in an environment similar to its normal habitat and record the growth and habits of each specimen. Does the culture have a culture? Does it mate with only one of its kind? Does it "hang out with" certain cells it grew up with? etc. I'm serious here. Has anyone ever thought to research this aspect of small cell life?

Viruses are even more easy to track. since they dont actually move or do things by them selfs
