  1. 2. I am so easy to work with yet so pathogenic in nature, from being present in undercooked meat to a wide variety of creatures in your kitchen. I am the hidden source of illness. Guess who I am?
  2. 3. Born in hot springs where others would fry, I copy DNA as the temperatures are high. A PCR champion, steady and bold, my thermal stability is worth more than gold. What enzyme am I?
  3. 7. I join hands with plant roots, helping them explore the soil. Especially for phosphorus and water, I make the roots work better. Who am I?

  1. 1. I am small in size, but my work is very wise. When eaten by worms, I make my way for the pests to stay away. I am used as a pesticide. Tell me who I am.
  2. 4. I am everyone's favourite, whether baker or brewer; I make dough rise and craft the drink. Although I am invisible, I convert sugars into alcohol and bubbles, which we all cherish. Guess who I am?
  3. 5. I am small and circular, a little loop of gold, passing resistance secrets from host to host. I travel through Pili, sharing my gear, making harsh antibiotics disappear. What am I?
  4. 6. Alone, we are weak and easy to beat, but together we build a polymeric street. In a sticky matrix, we hide and sleep, where antimicrobial waves can't reach too deep. What are we?
