I was research on micro organizations and their behaviors. I was looking at an ecology report which showed first microbes survives colonized land by using fat for protection. Microbes need water environment to survive. In this environment, microbes produce fat molecules which call wax ester. The production of wax ester may represent an adaption for surviving dehydration and/or dessication cycles that facilitate bacteria migration. With larger population, they create microbial mats. An behavior of microbial mats can double the amount of wax esters as their hydrated brethren, so they start self-produce molecules. Also, microbial mats can generate water molecules at the same time. Consequences, it may be a procedure of waterproof itself.
This ongoing report showed the potential to look at micro organism to explore natural mechanical system that is represented to generate the ultimate morphology via chains of behavior and mutation.
