MICROORGANISMS
The Good,
the Bad,
and the Ecological
BACTERIA….THE GOOD
Maintain equilibrium in the
living world as:
Producers
Decomposers
Nitrogen Fixers
BACTERIA….THE GOOD
Many Human Uses:
Food production
Cleaning up oil spills
Human digestion
•Protection from infection
•Vitamin production
BACTERIA….THE BAD
Disrupt equilibrium by:
Causing disease
Many resources (time and
money) needed to
control/eliminate them.
BACTERIA….THE
ECOLOGICAL
Decomposers
Nitrogen Fixers
Food chains
Symbiotic relationships
Other living things could not
live without them.
FUNGI….THE GOOD
Maintain equilibrium in the
living world as:
Decomposers
Human Uses:
Food Production
FUNGI….THE BAD
Disrupt equilibrium by:
Causing disease
Many resources (time and
money) needed to
control/eliminate them.
FUNGI….THE ECOLOGICAL
Decomposers
Food chains
Symbiotic relationships
Other living things could not
live without them.
PROTISTA….THE GOOD
Maintain equilibrium in the
living world as:
Producers
Decomposers
O2 Producers, and in
Symbiotic relationships
PROTISTA….THE GOOD
Human Uses:
Food production
Other products:
plastics, waxes, paint,
deodorant, lubricants
PROTISTA….THE BAD
Disrupt equilibrium by:
Causing disease
Algal blooms
Many resources (time and
money) needed to
control/eliminate them.
PROTISTA….THE
ECOLOGICAL
Base of many food chains
Many are decomposers
Symbiotic relationships
