To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
COLI AND THE ELEPHANT “LUXURIOUS GROWTH”
ESCHERICHIA COLI HAS LURKED WITHIN our ancestors for millions of years, before our ancestors were even human. It was not until 1885 that our species was formally introduced to its lodger. A German pediatrician named Theodor Escherich was isolating bacteria from the diapers of healthy babies when he noticed a rod-shaped microbe that could produce, in his words, a “massive, luxurious growth.” It thrived on all manner of food—milk, potatoes, blood.
...Working at the dawn of modern biology, Escherich could say little more about his new microbe. What took place within E. coli—the transformation of milk, potatoes, or blood into living matter—was mostly a mystery in the 1880s. Organisms were like biological furnaces, scientists agreed, burning food as fuel and creating heat, waste, and organic molecules. But they debated whether this transformation required a mysterious vital spark or was just a variation on the chemistry they could carry out themselves in their laboratories.
