Peran cyanobacteria [EXETWOTION, SMAN 1 DEPOK]exetwotion
Cyanobacteria play several important roles:
1) They can supplement nutrition as some species like Spirulina sp. are used as protein supplements for humans.
2) Many cyanobacteria can perform photosynthesis and fix nitrogen which enhances rice growth and soil fertility.
3) Cyanobacteria add organic matter and produce oxygen through photosynthesis, allowing other organisms to grow.
However, in large populations some cyanobacteria can be harmful by reducing oxygen levels and sunlight penetration in water bodies, and some species produce toxins dangerous to animals and humans. Their proliferation is often linked to industrial and agricultural pollution that increases nutrients in aquatic environments.
Microbes In The Environment-Microorganisms for Bioremediation,Bacteria Generate Electricity from Pollution ,Geobacter Consume Radioactive Contamination,Plastic-Eating Bacteria Breaks Down Bags
This document discusses the roles of micro-organisms in ecosystems. It describes how viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi, and protists help control nutrient cycling and biodiversity. Bacteria are important for decomposition, recycling nitrogen, and producing nutrients for plants. Fungi decompose dead organic matter. The document also discusses symbiotic relationships between organisms, including mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism. An example of mutualism is nitrogen-fixing bacteria providing nitrates to plants in exchange for food.
This document provides information about cyanobacteria. It begins by introducing cyanobacteria and their important evolutionary role as the first photosynthetic organisms on Earth approximately 2.7 billion years ago, which led to oxygenating the atmosphere. The document then discusses cyanobacteria terminology and taxonomy, habitats, structure without organelles like eukaryotes, important pigments, some being capable of nitrogen fixation in specialized cells called heterocysts, and their proposed endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts in eukaryotic algae and plants.
Microbes play an important role in bioremediation by using their enzymatic activity to destroy pollutants or transform them into less harmful forms. During their normal metabolic processes, microbes can break down toxic compounds and convert them into simpler, non-toxic molecules. Bioremediation harnesses microbes' natural degradation abilities to clean contaminated sites using biological rather than physical or chemical methods. This approach is often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to excavating and disposing of polluted soils and water.
Plants obtain nutrients through photosynthesis using water, minerals, sunlight and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Animals obtain nutrients by eating other living things, while fungi and bacteria absorb the remains of dead living things. The document also discusses the vital functions of reproduction, where living things make more of their own kind through sexual or asexual means, and interaction, which involves a stimulus causing an organism to respond.
This document discusses microbial adaptation to aquatic environments. It explains that bacterial size, nutrients, light, oxygen, and other factors affect microbial diversity. Most bacteria are 0.2 um in diameter but some have adapted to be smaller or larger. Ultramicrobacteria can be as small as 0.2 um and maximize surface area for nutrient absorption. The largest known bacteria is Thiomargarita namibiensis, which can be 750 um wide and uses sulfur and nitrates through a large internal vacuole. Thioploca spp. also live in marine sediments and bring together sulfur and nitrates through tubular sheaths. Fungi like chytrids and Ingoldian fungi can reproduce underwater through spores and
The document discusses microbial ecology and the composition of soil as an environment for microorganisms. It notes that soil is a complex ecosystem containing a vast array of microbes, plants, and animals. The lithosphere is composed of weathered rock, humus, and nutrients. The rhizosphere around plant roots contains associated bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Microbes play important roles in soil, including nutrient provision, decomposition, nitrogen fixation, and preventing pathogens. Bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi are the dominant microbial groups in soil and influence processes like nutrient cycling and plant growth.

Lysogenic effect of virus on plankton -marine environment RuksanaRukku
This document discusses viruses that infect marine microorganisms. It notes that viruses may be important agents in controlling microbial mortality and genetic composition. Viruses have no metabolism of their own and must rely on host cells. There are three viral life cycles - lytic, lysogenic, and chronic infections. The lysogenic cycle allows viruses to reproduce without killing the host by integrating viral DNA into the host genome. Evidence shows that viruses infect many types of marine photosynthetic organisms and are responsible for a significant portion of microbial mortality, helping to maintain diversity in microbial communities. Viruses may also influence bloom dynamics and organic matter cycling in the oceans.
- Marine microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and cyanobacteria are a rich source of potential antibiotic compounds. Some early antibiotics discovered came from marine bacteria, including 2-(3’,5’-dibromo-2’hydroxphenyl)– 3,4,5-tribromopyrrole.
- Cyanobacteria played an important role in producing oxygen and generating the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. Many marine microorganisms have adapted to thrive in salt, pressure, and other conditions of the marine environment.
- However, antibiotic resistance has become a serious problem requiring continued search for new antibiotic compounds, such as from additional marine sources that may yield new treatments.
This document summarizes key microorganisms commonly found in water and discusses water purification methods. It describes several pathogens like Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, Hepatitis A, Legionella, and Anabaena sp. that can contaminate water and cause illness. It also mentions other microbes like rotifers, copepods, E. coli, and fungi that may be present. Water quality indicators like turbidity and different types of bacteria are discussed.

Aquatic microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in freshwater and saltwater environments. These microorganisms are found throughout aquatic systems, from rivers and lakes to oceans and even hot springs. They play important roles like breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and providing food for other aquatic life. Aquatic microorganisms also impact humans through activities like water purification in sewage treatment.
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, were the first organisms to perform oxygenic photosynthesis and produce oxygen as a byproduct, converting the early atmosphere to an oxidizing one. They are also able to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Cyanobacteria serve important ecological functions and have many applications. Specifically, certain species can be used as pollution indicators, in biotechnology research, as a source of nutrients, and to generate renewable fuels.
Bacteria have various nutritional requirements that can be classified in several ways. They require a source of energy, usually from chemical reactions or light. They also require electrons, which can come from inorganic or organic compounds. Bacteria are categorized based on their carbon source, whether they can produce their own carbon through photosynthesis or must obtain it from organic matter. They need nitrogen, usually from ammonia, nitrates or nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Minerals like sulfur, phosphorus, oxygen and trace elements are required. Vitamins may be synthesized or obtained from the environment. Water is also essential, making up most of the bacterial cell volume.
Bioluminescence, the production of light by living organisms, can be used to sensitively monitor pollution through assays that detect changes in bioluminescence caused by toxic substances. One of the earliest assays was developed using the bacterium Vibrio fisheri, measuring inhibition of its bioluminescence by pollutants. Recombinant bacteria like E. coli transformed with bioluminescence genes have also been used for biomonitoring due to their genetic tractability and ability to detect a wide range of pollutants in various environments. Dinoflagellates exhibiting bioluminescence have further been employed for toxicity assessments of metals and other contaminants in aquatic systems.
Biological oxygen demand (BOD) measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms to decompose organic matter in water. The BOD test involves taking oxygen readings of a water sample initially and after 5 days of incubation, with the difference representing oxygen consumed. BOD levels indicate water quality, with lower levels below 6 ppm indicating cleaner water and levels over 100 ppm meaning very polluted water. High BOD occurs when bacteria decompose excess organic waste, consuming oxygen and potentially harming aquatic life.
The document discusses two types of bacteria: autotroph and heterotroph bacteria. Autotroph bacteria can produce organic compounds from inorganic molecules using light or chemical energy. They include photoautotrophs, which use light energy, and chemoautotrophs, which use chemical energy. Heterotroph bacteria require organic substrates for energy and are divided into parasites, saprophytes, pathogens, and non-pathogens. Common examples of different bacteria types are provided.
This document provides an overview of the microbial loop in marine ecosystems. It discusses how bacteria consume dissolved organic matter released by phytoplankton and protozoans. These bacteria are then consumed by protozoans like flagellates and ciliates, recycling nutrients and carbon back into the food web. Approximately 60% of energy in marine food chains is estimated to pass through this microbial loop. The loop links dissolved organic matter to microbes and micrograzers, and is crucial to ecosystem function by transferring carbon and nutrients between trophic levels.
1) Bacteria play an important role in soil by decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the soil. This promotes plant growth.
2) Some bacteria increase soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen or converting nitrogen into plant-available forms. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live symbiotically in root nodules of legumes or freely in soil.
3) The nitrogen-fixing, nitrifying, and ammonifying bacteria work together in the nitrogen cycle to transform nitrogen between forms available to plants and the atmosphere. This maintains soil nitrogen levels over time.
Chemoautotrophs and photosynthetic eubacteriaramukhan
Chemolithotrophs are bacteria or archaea that derive energy from inorganic chemical reactions. They can synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide using inorganic energy sources like hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, ferrous iron, or molecular hydrogen. Most chemolithotrophs are found in extreme environments like deep sea vents or volcanoes. They include nitrifying bacteria that play a key role in the nitrogen cycle, as well as bacteria that oxidize hydrogen, iron, or sulfur. The process of chemolithotrophy allows these organisms to act as primary producers in ecosystems where organic material is scarce.

Bacteria and its classification. Microbiology NAGALAKSHMI R
Bacteria can be classified in several ways, including by their mode of nutrition, temperature and pH requirements, salt tolerance, gas needs, morphology, gram staining, presence of flagella and ability to form spores. Autotrophic bacteria can produce their own food while heterotrophic bacteria rely on organic compounds. Mesophilic bacteria generally grow best around human body temperature, while thermophilic and hyperthermophilic bacteria thrive at higher temperatures. Morphological classifications include cocci, bacilli, spirochetes and others. Gram staining distinguishes between gram positive and gram negative cell walls.
Nutrition is the process by which organisms obtain food necessary for growth, survival, and health. There are two main types of organisms based on how they obtain nutrients - autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs, like plants, can produce their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates, oxygen, and energy. Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food and obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms through various modes like saprotrophic, parasitic, and holozoic nutrition. Plants obtain nutrients through their roots, stems, and leaves and store food primarily as starch.
This document summarizes key information about bacteria. It describes bacteria's importance due to their rapid growth and ability to exist in adverse conditions. The oldest known fossils are bacteria-like organisms from nearly 3.5 billion years ago. Bacteria can be autotrophs that produce their own food from sunlight, inorganic substances, or heterotrophs that break down organic compounds. Depending on the species, bacteria can be aerobic and require oxygen or anaerobic and be harmed by oxygen. Archaebacteria include methanogens, halophiles, and thermophiles found in extreme environments. Eubacteria include cyanobacteria, which were the first to produce oxygen, as well as bacteria that produce antibiotics, live symbiotically,
The Invaders in our body (Microbes).pptxgenopaolog
The document discusses microbes and their meaningful roles in ecosystems. It describes how microbes exist virtually everywhere on Earth and influence the planet's ecosystems by shaping nutrient cycles, forming symbiotic relationships, breaking down pollutants, and more. Microbes include bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and microscopic eukaryotes that collectively make up the biosphere and sustain life through their diverse functions.
Microbes inhabit diverse environments across terrestrial, aquatic, and other organism habitats. They thrive in conditions ranging from very cold to extremely hot and can tolerate limited water, high salt, and low oxygen. Microbes in soil break down organic matter and are sensitive to environmental factors like carbon dioxide, oxygen, pH, moisture, and temperature. Aquatic microbes live in both fresh and salt water and are adapted to their environment. Microbes also live symbiotically on other organisms, with relationships that can be mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic. Microbes play important roles in biogeochemical cycles like carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus cycles that recycling nutrients. Bioremediation uses microbes to degrade poll

Bacterial cells have distinct structures that differ from eukaryotic cells. They have a cell wall providing structural support and protection from stress. Inside is a plasma membrane closely joined to the cell wall. Bacteria are classified based on their nutrition into autotrophic and heterotrophic types. Autotrophic bacteria can synthesize food from inorganic substances, including photoautotrophs that use sunlight and chemoautotrophs that oxidize inorganic substances. Heterotrophic bacteria obtain food from organic matter and are divided into photoheterotrophs, saprophytic, parasitic, and symbiotic types. Bacteria are also involved in the decomposition of proteins through putrefaction and cellular respiration.

It describes different types of taxes like direct and indirect taxes, and characteristics of a tax system, including progressive, proportional, and regressive structures. Specific topics covered include tax revenue, non-tax revenue, types of taxes, and principles of taxation.
The document discusses various perspectives and dimensions of poverty. It defines poverty as a lack of income or resources to meet basic needs like food, clothing, and housing. The World Bank observes poverty encompasses more than just low income, including lack of access to healthcare, education, water and sanitation. It identifies overpopulation, unequal resource distribution, inability to meet high costs of living, lack of education and employment opportunities, and environmental degradation as causes of poverty. Effects of poverty include precarious livelihoods, exclusion, physical limitations, gender issues, social problems, insecurity, and abuse. Poverty is measured using indicators like income level, poverty gap, income shortfalls, and multidimensional indices. Approaches to tack
The document discusses environmental pollution by Athira Bhaskar of St. Mary's College Thrissur. It defines environmental pollution as the unfavorable alteration of surroundings due to human activities that harmfully affect life. Pollution is classified as natural, originating from natural processes, or artificial/man-made from human activities. The main types of pollution discussed are air, water, soil, and noise pollution. Air pollution has gaseous and particulate pollutants, and its two main causes are population and productivity increases. Water pollution occurs when fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides from farms are carried into water sources. Soil pollution results from imbalanced agricultural activities like erosion, irrigation, overgrazing, and
This document discusses JavaScript, its history, uses, and features. It provides an introduction to JavaScript, noting that it is a lightweight programming language used to make web pages interactive by inserting dynamic text, reacting to events, getting information about the user's computer, and performing calculations. The document discusses how JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich at Netscape in 1995 and how it enhances the user experience on web pages by creating responsive and interactive elements. It also compares JavaScript to Java and outlines different types of pop-up boxes that can be used in JavaScript like alert, confirm, and prompt boxes.
The document discusses different SQL set operations - UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, and MINUS. UNION combines results from two queries while eliminating duplicates. UNION ALL combines results and keeps duplicates. INTERSECT returns rows that are output from both queries. MINUS returns rows that are in the first query but not the second. Each set operation has specific rules regarding column names, data types, and order between the two queries being combined.

NUTRITION
Nutrients are needed to build proteins and structural membranes and
drive biochemical processes.
Bacteria require sources of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, iron and a
large number of other minerals.
Carbon, nitrogen and water are used in highest quantities.
Bacteria are grouped according to the carbon source and the energy
source
3. Bacterial nutrition Dr. Regi Raphael K, St.Mary’s College
Autotrophic
Make their own food from outside sources of energy.
Further divided into chemo and photo autotrophs.
4. Bacterial nutrition, Dr. Regi Raphael K, St.Mary’s College
Photosynthetic pigments , bacteriochlorophyll and
bacteriophaeophytin occur in thylakoids.
Anaerobic type with no oxygen involvement.
Bacteria can survive in areas where there is low oxygen density.
Instead of water , hydrogen is used as a source of reducing power.
The source of hydrogen is organic and inorganic compounds.
Hydrogen is picked by NAD ions.
Photosynthetic pigments synthesize ATP.
Photoautotrophic bacteria
5. Bacterial nutrition, Dr. Regi Raphael K, St.Mary’s College
They make their food from inorganic compounds and make their
energy from oxidation chemical reactions involved in external medium.
This energy is used in carbon assimilation.
Nitrifying, sulphur oxidizing and iron bacteria comes under this
category.
Energy released in this process is trapped inside ATP
Chemoautotrophic Bacteria
6. Do not make their own food and they depend on readymade food
from outside for their survival.
Saprotrophic, symbiotic and parasitic are their sub types.
Bacterial nutrition, Dr. Regi Raphael K, St.Mary’s College
Heterotrophic
7. Free organisms depend upon organic remains for their food.
This bacteria leads to fermentation (anaerobic break down of
carbohydrates), putrefaction ( anaerobic break down of proteins)
and decay (anaerobic break down of organic compounds).
Presence is beneficial as well as harmful for human interest.
They serve to clean the environment.
They dispose of the organic remains and are referred to as Natures
Scavengers.
They dispose sewage and cure tea, coffee and tobacco.
Bacterial nutrition, Dr. Regi Raphael K, St.Mary’s College
Saprophytic bacteria:
8. Bacterial nutrition, Dr. Regi Raphael K, St.Mary’s College
They live in cordial environment which is suitable to both the
organisms.
They check the growth of putrefying bacteria and produce vitamin B
and K.
They live in human intestine like E. coli.
Symbiotic bacteria:
9. Bacterial nutrition, Dr. Regi Raphael K, St.Mary’s College
Bacteria live with other living beings.
They depend on them for survival and derive their food from them.
They may or may not be disease causing.
Disease causing is referred as pathogenic which may cause disease by
attacking host cells or releasing toxins.
Toxins may be further sub divided into exotoxins and endotoxins.
Parasitic bacteria
