B. Presentation

1. What are microorganisms?

Microorganisms are living things that Microorganisms are small living

cannot be seen by the unaided eye. For things that can be seen through
them to be seen and observed, a microscope only.
microscope should be used. They are
diverse not only in structure but also in
their role in the environment and their
effects on living things such as humans.
2. What are the groups of
microorganisms and their
characteristics?
A. Fungi A. Fungi are plant-like
-Fungi are plant-like microorganisms.
microorganisms. It includes yeast,
penicillium and aspergillus.

B. Protozoa B. Protozoa are the animal-like

Protozoa are the animal-like
microorganisms. They are
unicellular and they can move about
in their environment. They have
flagella, cilia or pseudopodia.
C. Bacteria
Bacteria are smaller than fungi and
protozoa. They are divided into three
according to their shapjes. 1. Coccus
has spherical shape. 2. Bacillus has
rod shaped. 3. Spirillum has spiral or
coiled shape.
D. Virus
Virus lacks the characteristics that
can be attributed to living things.
They are living only when come in
contact with living things. They are
called Marginal organisms. They are
pathogenic meaning they cause
diseases.

3. How do we compare each group

according to their benefits ad
effects?
A. Fungi- They are used in Fungi are used in
fermentation industry and baking fermentation industry and
products, such as Saccharomyces baking products, such as
cerevisae, commonly called yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisae,
Penicillium notatum which is the commonly called yeast.

source of aspergillic acid. penicillin; ad Aspergillus
flavus, which is the source of
 Pathogeic fungi such as Tinea
capitis ca cause ringworms and
athlete’s foot.
B. Protozoa – Amoeba, a unicellular
protozoa can be parasitic and can
cause amoebic dysentery and can
cause bleeding ulcers as they live in
the intestine and feed on the
intestinal walls. Trypanosoma, a
protozoan that moves about using
its flagella. Trypanosoma
gambiense is the species that can
cause sleeping sickness. It can be
spread to humans and domestic
animals by the bite of infected tse
tse fly. Plasmodium is a nonmotile
organism and all are parasitic. They
can cause malarial disease through
the bite of infected mosquito of the
genus Anopheles.
C. Bacteria – They bring about the
breakdown of organic materials,
called the process of Decay. They
break down the tissues of dead
animals and plants, and return
oxygen, carbon, nitrogen,
phosphorus and sulfur to the air,
soil and water. Bacteria are
important in preparation of cheese,
sauerkraut and pickels.
Actinomycetes, is responsible for
the production of antibiotics such as
streptomycin.
The idea that bacteria can cause
diseases- the germ theory of
disease- was developed by the
French scientist Louis Pasteur in
the mid-1880s. 1. Bacteria can be
numerous that they can interfere
with normal functioning of the
body. 2. In some diseases, they
produce toxins ad poisons that can
interfere with normal functioning of
the body.
D. Viruses – They are pathogenic ad
known to infect plants, animals,
aspergillic acid. Pathogeic
fungi such as Tinea capitis ca
cause ringworms and athlete’s
foot.
Protozoa – Amoeba, a
unicellular protozoa can be
parasitic and can cause
amoebic dysentery and can
