The Microbes We Can Find in Unclean Water

Unfiltered water and most especially wastewater is home to over a million different microorganisms that are extremely small and cannot be seen by the naked eye. Among the different species of microorganisms present in water are single-cell microbes that are considered to be the “oldest form of life on Earth”.

  1. The Microbes We Can Find in Unclean Water www.bgwaterfilter.com

  2. Tiny livingt creatures in the water Unfiltered water and most especially wastewater is home to over a million different microorganisms that are extremely small and cannot be seen by the naked eye.

  3. The Microbes We Can Find in Unclean Water These microbes are also classified even further into specific types, each having its own unique features. Each type can also have varying effects on humans when ingested through drinking contaminated water.

  4. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes EUCARYOTIC CELLS

  5. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes Composed of cells that contain a nucleus that is enclosed within a membrane. EUCARYOTIC CELLS

  6. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes PROCARYOTIC CELLS

  7. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes These are smaller by 5fm in diameter compared to Eucaryotic Cells and have a simpler cell structure. PROCARYOTIC CELLS

  8. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes Virus

  9. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes Even if they probably have the simplest chemical structure among the other microbes, viruses are the most dangerous to humans. Virus

  10. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes They approximately weigh 10-12g each and normal municipal wastewaters contain 105 to 107 of bacteria/ml. There are several types of bacteria with different characteristics, whether they’re heterotrophic or autotrophic, anaerobic or facultative. Bacteria

  11. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes They approximately weigh 10-12g each and normal municipal wastewaters contain 105 to 107 of bacteria/ml. Bacteria

  12. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes PROTOZOANS

  13. This microbe lives/feeds on bacteria and small algae, removing them from water systems. They are a lot larger than bacteria, but most standard water decontamination methods cannot detect this microbe. Classifications of Single-cell Microbes PROTOZOANS

  14. Being Safe from These Tiny Creatures The best way to avoid diseases of these tiny microbes is to make sure that the water we drink is clean. www.bgwaterfilter.com
