  2. Microbial food web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_food_web

    The microbial food web refers to the combined trophic interactions among microbes in aquatic environments. These microbes include viruses, bacteria, algae, heterotrophic protists (such as ciliates and flagellates). [1] In aquatic ecosystems, microbial food webs are essential because they form the basis for the cycling of nutrients and energy.

  3. Food web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_web

    A freshwater aquatic food web. The blue arrows show a complete food chain (algae → daphnia → gizzard shad → largemouth bass → great blue heron). A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community.

  4. Microbial ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_ecology

    Microbial ecology (or environmental microbiology) is the ecology of microorganisms: their relationship with one another and with their environment. It concerns the three major domains of life—Eukaryota, Archaea, and Bacteria—as well as viruses. [2] This relationship is often mediated by secondary metabolites produced my microorganism.

  5. Marine food web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_food_web

    The pelagic food web, showing the central involvement of marine microorganisms in how the ocean imports nutrients from and then exports them back to the atmosphere and ocean floor. A marine food web is a food web of marine life. At the base of the ocean food web are single-celled algae and other plant-like organisms known as phytoplankton.

  6. Bacteria - Wikipedia

    They are all essential to soil ecology, breaking down toxic waste and recycling nutrients. They are even found in the atmosphere and one cubic metre of air holds around one hundred million bacterial cells. The oceans and seas harbour around 3 x 10 26 bacteria which provide up to 50% of the oxygen humans breathe. [32]

  9. Microbiome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiome

    This definition is based on that of “biome,” the biotic and abiotic factors of given environments. Others in the field limit the definition of microbiome to the collection of genes and genomes of members of a microbiota. It is argued that this is the definition of metagenome, which combined with the environment constitutes the microbiome.
