20 Examples of Microorganisms

A microorganism it's a biological system that can only be visualized with a microscope. It is also called a microbe. They are capable of reproducing themselves, hence their particularity so that a bacterium or virus multiply and attack the immune system of the living being in which it lives. For example: rhinovirus, H1N1, rotavirus.

Regarding its biological organization, this is elementary (not like others living beings like animals or plants).

Different microorganisms can be called single-celled organisms or multicellular that are not related to each other, that is to say that they can have multiple shapes and varied sizes.

To make a distinction it can be said that there are unicellular microorganisms prokaryotes (where they would be located at bacteria) and the eukaryotes, where are the protozoa, mushrooms, algae and even ultramicroscopic organisms such as viruses.

Harmless and pathogenic microorganisms

Some of the microorganisms arise as a result of the spoilage of food. However, not all microorganisms that arise from the decomposition of

food they are harmful. There are those, such as those that ferment different types of cheeses, sausages, yogurts, among others that are considered harmless or beneficial microorganisms.

On the other hand, there are harmful microorganisms known as pathogenic microbes. These can be divided into bacteria, virus Y protozoa.

Habitat

The first and second can be found in surface or groundwater, while the third (better known as parasites) are only found in shallow water.

Consequences of microorganisms in living beings

Regarding the damage caused by pathogenic microorganisms, it can be said that those microbes from the group of the protozoa, that is to say the parasites compared to bacteria.
