Key Stage 4 Learning Outcomes All students will Understand that some microbes can keep us healthy Understand that some microbes can be useful Understand that we need bacterial colonisation to live a healthy life . and where to find them. What are Microbes?. - What is the smallest living thing you can think of?. What are Microbes?. What are Microbes?. Microbes are tiny living life forms.. They are so small we can only see them using microscopes.. - Organisms Patents on micro - organisms are far from new. In the brewing and baking industries, yeast has traditionally played an important part and patents for new types of yeast were g Safety. Microbial Growth.

Besides macroscopic plants and animals, microbes are the major components of biological systems on this earth. Microbes are present everywhere – in soil, water, air, inside our bodies and that of other animals and plants. Microbes like bacteria and many fungi can be grown on nutritive media to form colonies, that can be seen with the naked eyes. Such cultures are useful in studies on micro-organisms. Some of the most important contributions of microbes to human welfare are as follows. . Author: Michael Witty. Citation: Michael Witty. 2009. Spirochetes in the context of their environment and other microbes.. Publication Date : August 2009. Introduction. Most observations of spirochetes come from cultivated microbes or rich animal systems.  This is because of the small size of these bacteria and the technical difficulties associated with resolving them in complex environmental samples.  This movie shows bacteria from a soil sample swimming amongst soil particles and other soil microbes.. Traditional . methods . of . preservation. Traditional methods of food preservation began from the essential need to store supplies when they were plentiful and to keep the food fresh for as long as possible to last through the winter months. .
