The microbial population in water is dynamic and may change not only from day to day but also at different times of the day. Researchers have observed that this microbiological distribution usually follows the Poisson or Negative Binomial model.1

The simplest form of life is composed of single-celled microorganisms which are thought to have appeared around 3.5x109 years ago.1 Interestingly, evidence has shown that chloroplasts and mitochondria were once free-living microorganisms that became incorporated into eukaryotic cells and eventually became energy-producing organelles.1 Biodiversity enables microorganisms to survive in extreme…
The beauty of the diversity of organic life stems from the ability of certain organisms to thrive in hostile and extreme climatic and environmental conditions where most normal life systems cannot survive1 . These extraordinary, microscopic forms have the power to persist more strongly than large macroscopic creatures2 . Most…
