BIOL 2053 Lecture Notes - Lecture 41: Archaea, Oa, Phosphate
Document Summary
Microbiology study of all than rather microbial processes that occur in ecosystems individual microbes dwelling in the ecosystems. Biogeochemical and the environment in the cycling involves microbial cycling of. Iii. in , ca. si processes to draw flow of. H2o and atmosphere . a exchanged by redox rxns. Environments dominated by high be will accept is reduction potentials more likely to when a new compound is added . Redox states determine which e- acceptors are available. Oa determines the environment and the e- acceptors t donors. Methanogemsis : methane genii reduce anaerobically archaea. : organic matter decomposed to release simpler inorganic compounds ( c02 , ch4 , Immobilisation nutrients incorporated into biomass unavailable for cycling. Fixation : na - fixing bacteria t cyanobacteria produce. N reduction : not reduced to noi during anaerobic respiration. Rxn : anaerobic chemo limo trophic process - nttyt.
