Microorganisms can be divided into 5 major groups like:
- Bacteria- Bacteria are the most primitive and diverse unicellular organisms found in the living world. They are prokaryotic in nature as their genetic material, i.e. DNA is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane. Because of their unique biochemical pathways and properties, they are of high economic importance to human beings.
- Fungi- Fungi is a group of eukaryotic, unicellular as well as multicellular, non-photosynthetic organisms that includes mushrooms, moulds, and yeasts. These organisms have a rigid cell wall made up of chitin and are found in diverse shapes and sizes.
- Algae- Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms that have the ability to conduct photosynthesis.
- Protozoa- Protozoa are a group of unicellular microorganism which are non-photosynthetic in nature. Many protozoa cause disease in animals and humans.
- Viruses- Viruses are ultramicroscopic and non-cellular organisms. They have a simple structure having genetic material coated by a protein coat. They are obligate parasites and highly pathogenic.
