Microorganisms Microorganisms, also called microbes, are extremely tiny organisms that can only be seen under a microscope. Microorganisms are one of the most diverse organisms and they include bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, green algae, plankton and amoeba.Some scientists also classify viruses as microorganisms.Most microorganisms are single-celled, but few varieties are also multi-cellular. Microorganisms can be found virtually in every part of Earth from deep sea vents, hot springs, deep buried rocks to high up in the atmosphere.ome scientists also classify viruses as microorganisms.

Reproduction of microorganisms Microorganisms can reproduce sexually and asexually. The type of reproduction where cells from only one parent are used, is called asexual reproduction. Only genetically identical organisms are produced by this type of reproduction. In evolutionary terms, asexual reproduction came before sexual reproduction.

Soil microorganisms and their interactions The soil is considered as the land surface of the earth which provides the substratum for plant and animal life. The soil represents a favourable habitat for microorganisms and is inhabited by a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses and protozoa.oil algae. Algae population in soil is generally smaller than that of either bacteria or fungi. Their number in soil usually ranges from 100 to 10,000 per gram of soil. They are photoautotrophic, aerobic organisms and obtain CO2 from atmosphere and energy from sunlight and synthesize their own food.

- Bacteria are a type of microbe, or organism so small that it can only be seen with the use of a microscope. Microbes are diverse and include organisms from each of the three domains of life: Prokaryotes (bacteria), Archaea, and Eukaryotes (including protists such as diatoms, ciliates, and dinoflagellates).

Microbes and the World Define the differences between microbial organisms. 1  Microorganisms are divided into seven types: bacteria, archaea, protozoa, algae, fungi, viruses, and multicellular animal parasites (helminths).  Each type has a characteristic cellular composition, morphology, mean of locomotion, and reproduction.

Virus, Germ, or Bacteria? In modern times, the term “germ” isn’t widely used in formal science. Instead, disease-causing objects are referred to by what type they are. Viruses and bacteria are types of germs, as are certain types of fungi, protists, and prions. Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms which live pretty much anywhere and everywhere. There are bacteria that live in water, soil, the air, clouds, your carpet, the ocean, and inside your body.

Types of Pathogens Types of Pathogens. Good. There are six main types of disease causing agents or pathogens: prions, viruses, bacteria, protozoans, fungi, and macroparasites. These pathogens vary greatly in size and shape, and also in the type of diseases they cause in their host. Pathogens can be microscopic (too small to be seen with the unaided eye) or macroscopic (can be seen with the unaided eye).

- There are three main types of micro organism that can cause disease Bacteria, these are prokaryotes and have no true nucleus. Bacterial diseases include tuberculosis, gonorrhe … a, tetanus etc.Infections can result when bacteria get into the wrong parts of the body and are able to reproduce.lgae are unicellular or multicellular eukaryotes that obtain nourishment by photosynthesis. 2. Algae produce oxygen and carbohydrates used by other organisms. Viruses. 1. Viruses are noncellular entities that are parasites of cells.

Microorganism These types of organisms are called decomposers. They are the natural recyclers of living things on our planet. Microbes also help us make some of our foods, such as bread, cheese, yogurt, beer, and wine. They feed on the sugar in grain, fruit, or milk, giving these foods a special texture and taste. Parasitic microbes

What You Need To Know About Infectious Disease Types of Microbes. The microorganisms, or microbes, that can cause disease come in different forms. Viruses and bacteria are probably the most familiar because we hear so much about them. But fungi, protozoa, and helminths are also big players in the story of infectious disease. Learn more about each of these five main categories, as well as a recently discovered one: prions.

Affects of Soil Microorganisms On Plant Health and Nutrition There are several types of microorganisms in soil that benefit plants. Together they make up an immense population of living organisms. One teaspoon of soil may contain millions of various types. Below is a list of common soil microorganisms found throughout the world. 1  Bacteria – Small, single cell organisms that make up the single most abundant type of microbe. 2  They have a very wide range of conditions that they live in from the artic wastelands to the steaming waters of volcanic hot springs.

How Infection Works Credit: Dr. Libero Ajello/CDC. In addition to viruses and bacteria, there are three other major types of microbes that can cause infectious disease—and one newly discovered type. As with viruses and bacteria, not all of the species in each of these categories are infectious to humans. But many of the world’s most prevalent infectious diseases are caused by microbes that are included in the groupings below. Fungi cause a wide variety of diseases in humans, ranging from Athlete’s foot to ringworm to deadly histoplasmosis.

Introduction to the Microbiology of Food Viruses are the smallest and simplest microorganisms. Unlike bacteria, yeasts, and molds, viruses are incapable of reproducing independently. Instead, they must first invade the cells of another living organism called the host, before they can multiply. Some psychrotrophic microorganisms grow very slowly in foods below freezing, but usually not below 19°F. 2  There are a few reports of growth, usually of molds, at 14°F, but no reliable reports of growth below that temperature.
