In the presentation I have shown the various ways the microbes help us in our day to day life. There are different types of microbes in and around us who help us in ways we even don't know about. Please comment if any improvement needed.
Microorganisms Freind And Foe
There are four main types of microorganisms: bacteria, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Microorganisms can be beneficial or harmful. They are beneficial in food production like cheese and wine, producing medicines like antibiotics, and increasing soil fertility. However, some microorganisms cause diseases in humans and can be transmitted through carriers like mosquitoes. Food is also spoiled by microorganisms and can be preserved through methods like heating, cooling, drying, salting, sugaring, and packaging.
Microorganisms
Microorganisms are tiny living organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. They include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, and viruses. Bacteria and viruses can cause illnesses like colds, flu, and serious diseases. Microorganisms live in diverse environments and can be beneficial by helping with food production, soil fertility, and medicine production. However, some microbes are pathogens that cause diseases in humans and animals.
The fundamental unit of life
Robert Hooke first observed cells in 1665 when examining a thin slice of cork under his microscope. He saw that the cork's structure resembled that of a honeycomb, with many small compartments that he named "cells". Cells are the fundamental unit of life and come in many shapes and sizes depending on their function. All cells contain organelles that allow basic life functions like transport, waste removal, energy production and more. Cells can be single-celled or multi-cellular and come in many specialized types across plants, animals and other organisms.

Predation, mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism
Commensalism is a relationship where one species benefits while the other is neither harmed nor helped. Examples include clownfish living among anemone tentacles for protection from predators, and birds eating insects near grazing animals. Parasitism is a harmful relationship where one organism, usually physically smaller, benefits by living on or in the host organism. Examples include ticks and fleas drinking blood, and vines growing on trees. Mutualism benefits both species, such as flowers and pollinators, and algae and fungi in lichens. Predation is when one organism eats another, such as herbivores eating plants and carnivores eating animals.

2) Water pollution is caused when harmful substances from sewage, chemicals, and garbage contaminate water bodies. The Ganga River is used as a case study of a heavily polluted river due to waste from towns, cities, and industries along its banks.
3) Effects of pollution include health impacts on people and discoloration of monuments like the Taj Mahal from acid rain. Solutions discussed include switching to cleaner fuels and increased awareness of pollution issues.
8 some natural phenomenon
Earthquakes are caused by disturbances deep within the Earth's crust. The crust is made up of fragmented plates that are constantly in motion, rubbing and colliding with each other. When plates collide or one plate slides under another, it causes stress that results in earthquakes. Major earthquakes can cause immense damage through ground shaking, tsunamis, landslides and floods. It is difficult to predict earthquakes, but understanding their causes can help minimize their effects through preparedness and building design.

methanogens,chytrids_and_microbes_and_insects.pdf
Methanogens are microscopic archaea that produce methane as a byproduct. They are commonly found in wetlands, digestive tracts of animals, and marine and terrestrial sediments where they play important roles. Methanogens have diverse shapes and cell wall structures. They produce methane through metabolic processes using substrates like hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and acetate. Important methanogen genera include Methanococcus and Methanobacterium. Methanogens are critical for methane production, biogas production, and wastewater treatment.
Microbial habitats
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.

Mountain Ecology
Evergreen and broad-leaf forests are home to thousands of rare plant and animal species. Scientists have discovered many microorganisms in these areas, though they have just begun to study them. Logging and mining have destroyed forests and caused an ecological collapse, wiping out many beneficial microorganisms. One such group is actinomycetes, microscopic soil organisms that play an important role in degrading organic matter. Actinomycetes thrive in environments with adequate organic matter, neutral-alkaline pH, appropriate moisture, and temperatures around 25-30 degrees Celsius. They contribute significantly to soil health and the well-being of ecosystems.
Microbial habitats
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

Chemical effects of electric current
A conduction tester is a simple device that uses a bulb or LED connected to a battery to determine if a material is a good or poor conductor of electricity. If the material completes the circuit between the two terminals, the bulb will glow or the LED will light, indicating it is a conductive material. Some solids and liquids like copper, salt water, and acids conduct electricity well while others like wood, rubber, and distilled water conduct poorly or not at all. Passing current through conducting liquids can cause chemical reactions and changes like producing gas bubbles or depositing metal on electrodes. Electrolysis and electroplating are examples of using electricity to drive chemical reactions.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptx
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

- 3. Where do Microorganisms Live? Microorganisms may be single-celled like bacteria, some algae and protozoa, or multicellular, such as algae and fungi. They can survive under all types of environment, ranging from ice cold climate to hot springs and deserts to marshy lands. They are also found inside the bodies of animals including humans. Some microorganisms grow on other organisms while others exist freely. Microorganisms like amoeba can live alone, while fungi and bacteria may live in colonies.

- 16. Importance Microorganisms are vital to humans and the environment, as they participate in the Earth's element cycles such as the carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle, as well as fulfilling other vital roles in virtually all ecosystems, such as recycling other organisms' dead remains and waste products through decomposition. Microorganisms also have an important place in most higher-order multicellular organisms as symbionts. Many blame the failure of Biosphere 2 on an improper balance of microorganisms.
- 17. Use in water treatment The majority of all oxidative sewage treatment processes rely on a large range of microorganisms to oxidise organic constituents which are not amenable to sedimentation or flotation. Anaerobic microorganisms are also used to reduce sludge solids producing methane gas (amongst other gases) and a sterile mineralised residue. In potable water treatment, one method, the slow sand filter, employs a complex gelatinous layer composed of a wide range of microorganisms to remove both dissolved and particulate material from raw water.
- 18. Use in energy Microbes are used in fermentation to produce ethanol, [67] and in biogas reactors to produce methane.[68] Scientists are researching the use of algae to produce liquid fuels,[69] and bacteria to convert various forms of agricultural and urban waste into usable fuels.
