Soil Microbiology

Soil microbiology deals with microorganisms in the soil, their function, and their impact on soil properties. It is believed that the first ancient bacteria and microbes originated in the Earth's oceans two to four billion years ago. These bacteria fixed nitrogen and grew over time, thereby allowing oxygen to be released into the atmosphere. This has led to important higher microorganisms as it affects soil structure and fertility. Soil microorganisms can be classified into bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Each of these groups has properties that define them and their function in the soil.
