Tiny livingt creatures in the water

Unfiltered water and most especially wastewater is home to over a million different microorganisms that are extremely small and cannot be seen by the naked eye.

These microbes are also classified even further into specific types, each having its own unique features. Each type can also have varying effects on humans when ingested through drinking contaminated water.

Even if they probably have the simplest chemical structure among the other microbes, viruses are the most dangerous to humans.

They approximately weigh 10-12g each and normal municipal wastewaters contain 105 to 107 of bacteria/ml. There are several types of bacteria with different characteristics, whether they’re heterotrophic or autotrophic, anaerobic or facultative.

PROTOZOANS

Page 13: The Microbes We Can Find in Unclean Water

Classifications of Single-cell Microbes This microbe lives/feeds on bacteria and small algae, removing them from water systems. They are a lot larger than bacteria, but most standard water decontamination methods cannot detect this microbe.
