The microscopic world: bacteria, good and bad, sentence 0

Who acts: Bacteria, hundreds · What happens: be, make, sit, live · To what, where: living things, side, full stop, Antarctic ice
This is a sentence of the lesson «The microscopic world: bacteria, good and bad» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Bacteria, hundreds), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
