Summary Introduction
To review:
The list of classifications that illustrates the microbes that grow in different physical growth conditions.
Introduction:
Microbes or microorganisms are the smallest living-organisms that are not visible by the naked eye and microscopes are used to study about them. Microbes are present everywhere in the environment such as in air, water, soil, and are also found within other organisms. The life span of microbes is very less and they grow or multiply very rapidly in groups.
