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.
You may have called it a germ, but this term only describes relatively few microorganisms. All microorganisms are living things or organisms. Microorganisms may be unicellular or single-celled, any living thing that has only one cell, the smallest unit of life.Some microor-ganisms are multicellular, having more than one cell. Microorganisms require food, air, water, ways to dispose of waste and an environment in which they can live.Some microorganisms are producers, living things that make their own food from simple substances usually using sunlight, as plants do.ome microor-ganisms are multicellular, having more than one cell.
