Tiny livingt creatures in the water
Unfiltered water and most especially wastewater is home to over a million different microorganisms that are extremely small and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The Microbes We Can Find in Unclean Water
These microbes are also classified even further into specific types, each having its own unique features. Each type can also have varying effects on humans when ingested through drinking contaminated water.
Classifications of Single-cell Microbes
Composed of cells that contain a nucleus that is enclosed within a membrane.
EUCARYOTIC CELLS
Classifications of Single-cell Microbes
These are smaller by 5fm in diameter compared to Eucaryotic Cells and have a simpler cell structure.
PROCARYOTIC CELLS
Classifications of Single-cell Microbes
Even if they probably have the simplest chemical structure among the other microbes, viruses are the most dangerous to humans.
Virus
Classifications of Single-cell Microbes
They approximately weigh 10-12g each and normal municipal wastewaters contain 105 to 107 of bacteria/ml. There are several types of bacteria with different characteristics, whether they’re heterotrophic or autotrophic, anaerobic or facultative.

Bacteria
Classifications of Single-cell Microbes This microbe lives/feeds on bacteria and small algae, removing them from water systems. They are a lot larger than bacteria, but most standard water decontamination methods cannot detect this microbe.
