Introduction

The point of this template is to give you a general idea of the layout of your page. You are not completely restricted to this format, so feel free to try out different things. We'll give you feedback as you work on your pages. Make sure to copy the "code" of this page to your own page before editing.

Irina C

Describe briefly the process you will address and the significance of soil microorganisms in the process (what functions do they perform?).

Process - key points

Describe the process, using as many sections/subsections as you require. Look at the list of other topics. Which involve processes similar to yours? Create links where relevant.

Key Microorganisms in ______

Identify and describe some microorganisms involved. Do they already have their own microbewiki pages? Add links. Create at least one page for a microbe relevant to your topic. Template will appear soon.

Section 3

An example of extemophile organism is: anaerobic sulfate-reducing bateria.
