Micro organisms

  • The unicellular or multicultural organisms which are invisible to the naked eye when taken individually are called micro organisms.

  • There are several groups micro organisms​,

  1. bacteria​

  2. Fungi

  3. Algae

  4. Protozoa

  5. virus

Characteristics of different micro-organisms

  1. bacteria

  • Unicellular and microscopic

  • Different body shapes

  • Widely spread in every type of environment

Eg-

cholera disease  vibrio choleree Lactobacillus Bulgariacus​


   2. Fungi

  • Both unicellular and multicellular

  • Some kind of fungi may able to observe with naked eye

  • Grow in moisture surface

Eg-

  • Mucor

  • Saccharomyces


   3.Protozoa

  • Unicellular and able to observe with microscope

  • Ability to live in aquatic as well as in other living environments.


    4. Algae

  • Both unicellular and multicellular

  • Microscopic

  • Photosynthetic

Eg-

  • Diatoms

  • Chlamydomonas

​​

   5. Virus

  • Able to see with electron microscopic.

  •  Show both living and non-living characteristics.

Eg-​

  • HIV

  • Ebola virus
