Microbial Physiology and Metabolism

Microbial physiology is characterized as the study of how, in living organisms, microbial cell structures, growth and metabolism work. It covers the study of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Microbial metabolism means Microbes obtaining energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) which are required to live and reproduce. Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and organisms dependent on metabolic characteristics can often be distinguished from each other. A microbe's unique metabolic properties are the key factors in determining the ecological niche of that microbe, and often enable that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or to be responsible for biogeochemical cycles. Microbial metabolism is classified based up on three principles:

  • Autotrophic
  • Heterotrophic
