Microbial Activity
Microbial activity refers to the processes carried out by microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, in various environments. These tiny organisms play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and maintaining ecosystem balance. Their activities are essential for soil health, water quality, and the decomposition of waste materials.
In natural and engineered systems, microbial activity can influence processes like biodegradation, nitrogen fixation, and bioremediation. Understanding these activities helps scientists and environmentalists develop strategies for managing ecosystems, improving agricultural practices, and addressing pollution challenges.
