Summary Introduction
The tiny organisms which could be viewed only under the aided eye are referred to as microorganisms. These microbes can be visible only under the microscopes. The microorganisms are diverse in nature and it represents all the great kingdoms of life. In order to understand the different types of microbes, they are classified or grouped in various ways. The microbes are used as experimental models for the scientific researches.
