Investigate the metabolic processes of microorganisms and their roles in nutrient cycling within ecosystems, including carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles.
Microbial Metabolism & Nutrient Cycling – Study Notes 1. Why Microbes Matter in Biogeochemistry Aspect Significance Ubiquity Bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists inhabit soils, water, sediments, and extreme habitats. Speed Microbial reactions can transform compounds in seconds‑to‑hours, far faster than abiotic processes. Diversity of Energy Sources Use organic carbon, inorganic g...…
