    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_ecology

    [7] [8] [9] Microorganisms (soil microbes) are involved in biogeochemical cycles in the soil which helps in fixing nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur in the soil (environment). [10] As a consequence of the quantitative magnitude of microbial life (calculated as 5.0 × 10 30 cells, [ 11 ] [ 12 ] ) microbes, by virtue of their ...

  3. Microorganism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism

    Microbes are important in human culture and health in many ways, serving to ferment foods and treat sewage, and to produce fuel, enzymes, and other bioactive compounds. Microbes are essential tools in biology as model organisms and have been put to use in biological warfare and bioterrorism. Microbes are a vital component of fertile soil.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Microbiology

    These bacteria could fix nitrogen, in time multiplied, and as a result released oxygen into the atmosphere. [2] [3] This led to more advanced microorganisms, [4] [5] which are important because they affect soil structure and fertility. Soil microorganisms can be classified as bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, algae and protozoa. Each of these ...

  5. Microbial food web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_food_web

    Bacteria. In the microbial food web, bacteria play a crucial role in breaking down organic materials and recycling nutrients. They transform DOC into bacterial biomass so that protists and other higher trophic levels can consume it. Additionally, bacteria take part in the nitrogen and carbon cycles, among other biogeochemical cycles. [4] Algae

    [33] [34] The ways the microbiome influences human and animal health, as well as methods to influence the microbiome are active areas of research. [35] Research has suggested that microorganisms could be useful in the treatment of cancer. Various strains of non-pathogenic clostridia can infiltrate and replicate within solid tumors. Clostridial ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiome

    "A community of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses) that inhabit a particular environment and especially the collection of microorganisms living in or on the human body". [67] "Human Microbiome Project (HMP): [...] The Human Microbiome is the collection of all the microorganisms living in association with the human body.

  8. Microbiota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiota

    Microbes are highly abundant, diverse and have an important role in the ecological system. Yet as of 2010 [update] , it was estimated that the total global environmental DNA sequencing effort had produced less than 1 percent of the total DNA found in a liter of seawater or a gram of soil, [ 86 ] and the specific interactions between microbes ...

  9. Microbiologist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiologist

    A microbiologist (from Greek μῑκρος) is a scientist who studies microscopic life forms and processes. This includes study of the growth, interactions and characteristics of microscopic organisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, and some types of parasites and their vectors. [1]
