Description

The variety, interconnections, and activity of microorganisms in freshwater habitats are examined in this book. These are a crucial component of the biosphere, which also consists of the earth's atmosphere, seas, and terrestrial ecosystems. All locations where freshwater occur as the primary external medium, whether in the liquid or frozen condition, are referred to as having freshwater habitats. From several kilometres below the seafloor to the first millimetre of a shallow trench made by rainwater and into acidic lakes, water microorganisms are capable of flourishing in all aquatic habitats. Microorganisms that reside in or can be moved by water from one habitat to another are the focus of water microbiology. In water, a wide variety of microorganisms can develop. This might be helpful. For instance, specific yeast strains' chemical processes provide us the ability to make bread and beer. Additionally, some bacteria that develop in contaminated water can aid in the digestion of the water's toxins. Researchers, educators, and students in the fields of microbiology, botany, zoology, and agriculture will benefit from this book.
