Micro-organisms communication

Receptor populations considered, which may include humans, animals, plants, micro-organisms, specific habitats or communities, or abiotic receptors subpopulations that are exposed to unusually high pollutant levels may be highlighted.

In half the cases of acute community-acquired pneumonia a microbiological diagnosis can be made. Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for 16-60% of the cases. The second most prevalent micro-organisms are those responsible for the so called atypical pneumonia syndrome including... 

Model of plankton blooms date back to the classical work of Riley et al. (19microbial organisms was incorporated in models of the pelagic plankton by Pomeroy (1979), Pace et al. (1984) and Fasham (1985). The above works have all treated plankton communities on a seasonal scale. In the model described below, we deal with a simple model of phytoplankton and micro-organisms concerned with the "microbial loop" (Azam et al., 1983) on a daily time scale appropriate to the turnover time of these organisms. The model is based on biomass data collected by Holligan et al.

It is important to realise that all compounds formed biochemically can be broken down biochemically, and that micro-organisms are also capable of degrading xenobiotics (unnatural synthetic compounds). It should also be realised that many microbial communities are much more effective at degrading chemicals than the sum activities of their component species.
