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.

The dots are like germs, they are hard to see but are there, and that is why we need to wash our hands. The kind and number of airborne microbes vary tremendously in different environments and dependent upon the activity in the environment and upon the amount of dust stirred up. The most significant environmental factors influencing viability of microbes are temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity. Other factors influencing their survival are oxygen, air ions, solar irradiance and open air factors. Among the microbes present in the atmosphere, bacteria are highest in number. In Outdoor air. .
