When you see blue, purple, or white on a butterfly, that's a structural color, while orange, yellow, and black are pigment, Prudic says. The nanostructure of the chitin, or wing scale, Prudic says, affects what light is reflected and how it's reflected.
Longevity of a beneficial microbe or microbes in the soil or potting mix environment is a benefit for long-term crops. Bacteria tend to release their protective secondary metabolites for up to 4 weeks after application, even though they.may persist in the soil environment longer.ecause bacterial and fungal microorganisms (a.k.a. microbes) in soils and potting media are constantly vying for food, water, and space, soils are regarded as dynamic living environments.
A microorganism or microbe is an organism which is too small to be seen by the unaided human eye. They are microscopic. The study of microorganisms is called microbiology. Microorganisms include bacteria, fungi, archaea or protists and viruses.The first four types of microorganisms may be either free-living or parasitic. Viruses, however, always reproduce inside other living things.icroorganisms live almost everywhere on earth where there is liquid water, including hot springs on the ocean floor and deep inside rocks within the earth 's crust. Such habitats are lived in by extremophiles. Microorganisms are critical to nutrient recycling in ecosystems, because they act as decomposers.
