A Few Words about Microorganisms
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology & Microbial Technology - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Microorganisms are organisms that are not visible without aid of microscope, i.e., with size less than 70-100 µm [1]. Microorganisms play an important role in the natural or engineered protection of environment from chemical or biological pollution and they can restore polluted or degraded environment. Microorganisms or their products can be also used in the construction to improve the mechanical properties of the ground and building materials. At the same time, the engineers have to design the technologies against microorganisms causing diseases human, animals, and plants and preventing microbial induced deterioration or corrosion. Therefore, both civil and environmental engineering includes many engineering solutions that are based on the relevant knowledge of microbiology. However, this knowledge must be not a general biological science but has to be tightly connected with the engineering problems.
