               for human beings are bacteria. For example, scientific re-

               search in the field of biotechnology makes considerable use
               of the bacterium Acetobacter xylinum in the production of
               cellulose, and Alcaligenes eutrophus in the manufacture of
               plastic. 117  Ssome cyanobacteria species can be used in the
               manufacture of paper and other products obtained from
               trees. 118  According to the results of one study announced in
               2002, a species of bacterium, Desulfuromonas acetoxidans,

               produces electricity by using sea sludge! 119  In short, bacteria
               are matchless factories with the capacity to create a great va-
               riety of useful byproducts.

                  Everywhere, from the depths of the oceans to lakes,
               from deserts to forests, from under the ground to the air it-
               self, the Earth is filled with living things possessed of as-
               tonishing properties and systems. Designers, researchers
               and scientists learn from them: They produce new models
               and designs by adopting the features of certain plants and
               animals as their starting points. A great many designs be-
               lieved to be invented with human ingenuity are actually al-

               ready in existence in nature. The structures or models of
               technological products emerging as the result of accumulat-
