Abstract
Microorganisms play a pivotal role in the cycle of matter on our planet. Their importance lies in the decomposition of the organic material that was originally produced by the activity of photosynthetic autotrophs. Green plants and cyanobacteria capture the light and utilize its energy to synthesize organic material (biomass) from a number of simple inorganic molecules such as CO2, H2O, and NH +4 .
