Microbes in Our Lives Microbes (microorganisms)–Living things that individually are

too small to be seen with the unaided eye.

They include: #Bacteria #Fungi (yeasts & molds) #Protozoa #Algae #Viruses

APPLICATIONS

OF

ENVIRONMENT MICROBIOLOGY

Industrial Uses of Fungi• Use of yeasts performing fermentation in

brewing, wine making and bread making.• Use of yeast (e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisae) to

make alcohol.• In the beer making industry, cereal grains are

fermented to make the final product.• Sake is produced by rice fermentation, using

Aspergillus oryzae.• Are used industrially in the food industry is in

cheese production. (Penicillium roquefortii)

Industrial Uses of Algae• They are used as fertilizers, soil conditioners and

are a source of livestock feed.• Algae can be used to make biodiesel (see

algaculture), bioethanol and biobutanol.• The natural pigments produced by algae can be

used as an alternative to chemical dyes and coloring agents.

• There is also much interest in the food industry into replacing the coloring agents that are currently used with coloring derived from algal pigments.

Industrial Uses of Bacteria• The discovery that Thiobacillus ferrooxidans can

concentrate gold trapped in rock minerals drew the attention of mining companies, and they are now developing a method of applying these bacteria in the gold mining industry.

• Larger scale applications such as:

• materials processing• energy production• waste processing and bioremediation• corrosion resistance• production of drugs• manufacture of polymers

Industrial Uses of Protozoa

• Protozoans play important roles in the fertility of soils.

• Protozoans play important roles in wastewater treatment processes, in both activated sludge and slow percolating filter plants.

Industrial Uses of Virus

• Measles virus used to kill cancer cells.• Viruses are Used to Grow more energy

efficient Batteries.• Used for biological pest control.

Detection of Microbes in Source and Drinking Water

• It is done by Molecular Methods.• Molecular techniques are based on genomics,

proteomics and transcriptomics.• Clinical and food industries are increasingly

adapting these techniques.

Biosensors for the Detection of Waterborne Pathogens

• Using Antibodies and Gene-Based Recognition Chemistries .

• Using LAMP for Low Cost Screening of Multiple Waterborne Pathogens.

• In LAMP, the target sequence is amplified at a constant temperature using either two or three sets of primers and a polymerase with high strand displacement activity.

Glossary

• Genomics- The study of genes and their function.

• Proteomics-The study of the proteome, the complete set of proteins expressed by an organism, tissue, or cell.

• Transcriptomics- The study of the transcriptome, the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome at any one time.
