What does the world of microbes look like in places that are invisible to the naked eye?

At the end of this epidemic, many people have given up their vigilance, in fact, judging from the recent data, we can not take it lightly, because the virus is not so easy to disappear, so let's talk about the world of viruses and microbes.

What are the creatures in the world we live in? Children will say that there are animals and plants, but in fact there are microorganisms. The first to study microorganisms was our Monsieur Leeuwenhoek, who developed the first microscope at that time, and then wrote it by observation, and he donated this diagram and his own research doctrine to the Royal Society of England at that time.

The most famous picture depicts the bacteria we know at that time, so Leeuwenhoek was also one of the first scientists to study bacteria, from which we learned that there were bacilli, cocci, spirochetes and the movement of bacteria, although this depiction is not the real ** under the electron microscope, but it also laid the foundation for the bacteriological theory at that time.

Later, we entered the world of microorganisms while studying bacteria, so what are microorganisms? In fact, it is an object that is difficult for us humans to see with the naked eye, we know that our eyes can see very small objects, but there is another world that we can't see. So what do microorganisms contain?

In fact, it is also very common in our lives, the fungi, bacteria, and viruses we see are all microorganisms, and human beings have never given up on the study of microorganisms. Later, a French biologist named Pasteur used a curved-neck flask to study the reproduction of microorganisms, and he found that even microorganisms that could not be seen under the microscope could be seen in their changes through scientific methods. How does that happen?

Let's take a simple example. Take the tip of a pin, when we magnify 8,500 times, we can fully see the appearance of bacteria, so the objects that cannot be seen under the microscope are actually divided into sizes. And, of course, our later French biologist, who cultivated a pot of broth and then studied yeast fermentation experiments.

For the study of bacteria, the earliest medium was a pot of broth, and later human beings made improvements, through the study of the composition of the medium, it is necessary to have metal compounds, carbohydrates, and some culture nutrients, auxin, etc. Therefore, in our experiments, we often use peptone, agar powder, glucose and sodium chloride to culture bacteria, so that we can see the appearance of bacteria with the naked eye, so we can see a group of microorganisms, which is what we call colonies. Of course, the colonies have a very beautiful appearance, such as staphylococci, such as streptococcus, such as spirobacteria, they are very beautiful.

Although the world of microorganisms is beautiful, it also has a certain impact on us, and not all microorganisms are harmful. Edible fungi such as mushrooms, fungus, and reishi are good companions for us humans, and of course yeast can help us make bread and steamed buns, and can also help us make wine, and penicillin can be used to cure diseases.

What does the world of microbes look like in places that cannot be seen with the naked eye? In fact, we only need a simple light microscope to see the truth about the world of microorganisms that we usually find with the naked eye. Most of the microorganisms are small in size, they may be prokaryotes or eukaryotes, they have different forms, different colors, and different ways of moving, just like another human world, the world of microorganisms is simple but also mysterious, and there are many kinds of microorganisms that we have not yet discovered.

Microorganisms exist in various places, but not all microorganisms are harmful, some fungi can be eaten, such as fungus, mushrooms, and some can also help us heal.

In modern times, mankind's exploration of science has shifted from the ground to the sky, and all countries are working hard to engage in scientific research and continue to explore the universe, hoping to discover the unknown secrets of mankind.

Microorganisms are an important catabolic group of living organisms, and life on Earth would not exist without the activity of microorganisms. They are the first life forms to emerge on Earth, and their biodiversity plays a major role in sustaining the biosphere and providing humanity with a wide and vast amount of untapped resources.

The diversity of microorganisms encompasses the life forms, ecosystems and ecological processes of all microorganisms, as well as the concept of knowledge about microorganisms at the genetic, taxonomic and ecosystem levels.

Are all microorganisms harmful, should we destroy all microorganisms, and what would happen without them?

<> microorganisms include: bacteria, viruses, fungi and some small protists, microscopic algae, etc., a large group of organisms, which are small and closely related to humans. It covers many kinds of beneficial and harmful, and is widely involved in food, medicine, industry and agriculture, environmental protection and many other fields.

In textbooks in Chinese mainland, microorganisms are divided into the following 8 categories: bacteria, viruses, fungi, actinomycetes, rickettsia, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and spirochetes. Some microorganisms are visible to the naked eye, such as mushrooms, reishi, etc., which belong to fungi.

There are also microorganisms that are a class of "non-cellular organisms" composed of a few components such as nucleic acids and proteins, but their survival must depend on living cells.

Microorganisms are not all harmful, such as probiotic bifidobacteria, lactobacillus is beneficial to our intestines, and Escherichia coli is harmful bacteria. Microorganisms are basically invisible to the naked eye and need to be seen with the help of a microscope, but there are a few that can be seen with the naked eye, such as scientists who have discovered a bacterium that can be seen with the naked eye without the help of a microscope, Thiomargarita magnifica, which can grow up to 2 centimeters and is shaped like a thin rope, the size of a peanut or a fly, and 5,000 times larger than many other microorganisms. When it comes to microorganisms, many people will have a bad impression that microorganisms are harmful, which is also normal, after all, infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms, so we are all taught to be clean and stay away from microorganisms from childhood.

However, living in an environment where microorganisms are ubiquitous, human beings have long learned to live in harmony with many microorganisms, and in fact, our human body has formed a very stable ecology with microorganisms.
