You have seen several kinds ofplants and animals. However,there are other living organismsaround
us which we normally cannotsee. These are called microorganismsor microbes. For example, you

with greyish whitepatches. Observe these patches througha magnifying glass. You will see tiny,black
rounded structures. Do you know what these structures are and where dothese come from?
Waterand soil are full of tiny organisms,though not all of them fall into thecategoryofmicrobes.These
microorganisms or microbes are so small in size that they cannot be seenwith the unaided eye. Some
of these,such as the fungus that grows on bread,can be seen with a magnifying glass.Others cannot
be seen without the helpof a microscope. That is why these arecalled microorganisms or
microbes.Microorganisms are classified in to four major groups. These groups arebacteria, fungi,
protozoa and somealgae. Viruses are also microscopic but arevdifferent from other

bacterium, plant or animal. Commonailments like cold, influenza (flu)v andmost coughs are caused
by viruses.Serious diseases like polio and chickenpox are also caused by viruses.Diseases like
dysentery and malariaare caused by protozoa(protozoans)whereas typhoid and tuberculosis (TB)are
bacterial diseases.You have learnt about some ofthese microorganisms in Classes VIand

as many algae andfungi. They live in all types of environments, ranging from ice coldclimate to hot
springs; and deserts tomarshy lands. They are also foundinside the bodies of animals
includinghumans. Some microorganismsgrow on other organisms while othersexist freely.
