Aquatic microbiology is the study of microorganisms that live in aquatic environments, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. This field of study is of great importance because aquatic microorganisms play a vital role in the ecology of aquatic ecosystems, affecting water quality, nutrient cycling, and the overall functioning of the ecosystem. Aquatic microbiology encompasses a broad range of topics, including the diversity of aquatic microorganisms, their physiological and ecological roles, and their interactions with other organisms in the aquatic environment. The study of aquatic microbiology also involves the investigation of the impact of anthropogenic activities on aquatic microorganisms, such as pollution and climate change.
