List of 4 Major Microbial Interactions | Microbiology

Here is a list of four major microbial interactions:- 1. Clay-Humus-Microbe Interaction 2. Plant-Microbe Interactions 3. Animal-Microbe Interactions 4. Microbe-Microbe Interactions. 1. Clay-Humus-Microbe Interaction: Clay mineral (and humic substances) affects the activity, ecology and population of microor­ganisms in soil. Clays modify the physicochemical environment of the microbes which either enhance or attenuate the growth of individual microbial population. After release [...]

Composition of Litter | Microbiology

The organic constituents of plant that give structural topography generally contain six broad groups of constituents as given below: (i) Cellulose: Cellulose is the most abundant chemical constituent of a cell. It is a carbohydrate composed of glucose units linked by P-linkages at 1 and 4 carbon atoms of sugars. Total number of glucose units varies from 2000 to 10,000. [...]

6 Important Groups of Extremophiles | Microbiology

The following points highlight the six important groups of extremophiles. The groups are: 1. Acidophiles 2. Alkalophiles 3. Halophiles 4. Psychrophiles 5. Thermophiles and Hyperthermophlies 6. Barophiles. Group # 1. Acidophiles: Most natural environments on the earth are essentially neutral, having pH between 5 and 9. Only a few microbial species can grow at pH less than 2 or greater [...]
