Genus larsen From MicrobeWiki, the student-edited microbiology resource Jump to: navigation, search This template is a general guideline of how to design your site. You are not restricted to this format, so feel free to make changes to the headings and subheadings and to add additional sections as appropriate.

Contents [hide] 1 Description of Niche 1.1 Where located? 1.2 Physical Conditions? 1.3 Influence by Adjacent Communities (if any) 1.4 Conditions under which the environment changes 2 Who lives there? 2.1 Which microbes are present? 2.2 Are there any other non-microbes present? 2.3 Do the microbes that are present interact with each other? 2.4 Do the microbes change their environment? 2.5 Do the microbes carry out any metabolism that affects their environment? 3 Current Research 4 References

Description of Niche Where located? Physical Conditions? What are the conditions in your niche? Temperature, pressure, pH, moisture, etc.

Influence by Adjacent Communities (if any) Is your niche close to another niche or influenced by another community of organisms?

Conditions under which the environment changes Do any of the physical conditions change? Are there chemicals, other organisms, nutrients, etc. that might change the community of your niche.

Who lives there? Which microbes are present? You may refer to organisms by genus or by genus and species, depending upon how detailed the your information might be. If there is already a microbewiki page describing that organism, make a link to it.

Are there any other non-microbes present? Plants? Animals? Fungi? etc.

Do the microbes that are present interact with each other? Describe any negative (competition) or positive (symbiosis) behavior

Do the microbes change their environment? Do they alter pH, attach to surfaces, secrete anything, etc. etc.

Do the microbes carry out any metabolism that affects their environment? Do they ferment sugars to produce acid, break down large molecules, fix nitrogen, etc. etc.

Current Research Enter summaries of the most recent research. You may find it more appropriate to include this as a subsection under several of your other sections rather than separately here at the end. You should include at least FOUR topics of research and summarize each in terms of the question being asked, the results so far, and the topics for future study. (more will be expected from larger groups than from smaller groups)
