How do microorganisms contribute to nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems?
In terrestrial environments, microorganisms decompose organic material, recycle nutrients like carbon and nitrogen, and facilitate nutrient uptake by plants, contributing to soil fertility, ecosystem productivity, and biodiversity.

See lessWhat is antibiotic resistance?
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop mechanisms to withstand the effects of antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. This phenomenon arises due to genetic mutations, horizontal gene transfer, and overuse/misuse of antibiotics, leading to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains thaRead more
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop mechanisms to withstand the effects of antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. This phenomenon arises due to genetic mutations, horizontal gene transfer, and overuse/misuse of antibiotics, leading to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains that are difficult to treat.
