The Role Of Useful microorganism

and Harmful effects of

microorganism of human being
THE ROLE OF USEFUL MICROORGANISMS..
1. There are various microorganisms that benefit human beings.
2. Microoganisms play important roles in:
a) the digestion of food
b) decomposition process
c) medicine
DIGESTION OF FOOD





-Some microogranisms help to
digest food in the digestive tract
of herbivore such as cows,rabbit
horses and sheep. - These
bacteria secrete the cellulase
enzymes that can digestt
celullose into glucose.

Protozoa in termites
intenstine produce cellulase
enzymes to digest cellulose in
wood into glucose






Bacteria that are found in human
large intenstine react upon leftover
food and produce vitamis B and K.
these vitamins are than absorbed into
the body to maintain good health
DECOMPOSITION OF PROCESS






-Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi
decompose dead organic subtances to simpler
subtances that can be absorted by plants for
growth
-Apart from elminating dead organic subtances
such as animal carcasses and dead plants from
the surface of the earth,these microorganisms
also help to retain the soils fertility







-Bacteria,protozoa and fungi are used in sewage
treament plants to decompose excretory
subtances that are toxic to non hazardous
subtances such as water, carbon dioxide and
mineral salts
- Bacteria also used in sewage tanks to
decompse sewage to methane gas that can be
used as fuel
Medicine



-Viruses and bacteria are used to
prepare vaccines to protect
humans from certain diseases
- For example the hepatisis
vaccine which contains hepatisis
virus injected to the humas body



-some fungi are used to produce
antibiotics such as penicillin.
-certain bacteria can produce
antibiotics such as streptomcyin
which is used to treat
tuberculosis.




-Yeast can be used as nutritional
supplements in medicine
bescause it is rich in vitamin B
and protein.
-Algae contain chemicals such
as beta- carotone and fatty acid.

HARMFUL EFFECT BY MICROORGANISMS
- Microorganisms which can cause disease called pathogens. They can be either bacteria or viruses or fungi or protozoa.
- Before that, disease can be defined as any conditions which actively harm the normal functioning of the body.
