| Description | Microorganisms-bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and algae-are living catalysts that enable a vast number of chemical processes to occur in water and soil. A majority of the important chemical reactions that take place in water, particularly those involving organic matter and oxidation-reduction processes, occur through bacterial intermediaries. Algae are the primary producers of biological organic matter (biomass) in water. Microorganisms are responsible for the formation of many sediment and mineral deposits; they also play the dominant role in secondary waste treatment. Some of the effects of microorganisms on the chemistry of water in nature are illustrated in Figure 6.1. Book Name: Water Chemistry |
