Predation among Microbes
-many microbes feed on each other
protozoa often eat bacteria amoebas eat other microbes
bacteria feeding on other bacteria
vampirovibro attacks & kills some species of algae
Myxcoccus- attacks & kills some bacteria
bdellovibrio enters bacteria and digests from within
Parasites of other microbes
bacteriophages- parasites of bacteria
some bacteria are parasites for protozoa
ex. Legionella is a parasite of amoebas
Virophage are viruses that parasitize other viruses
Competition
many organisms compete directly with each other
if found in the body (normal microbiota) compete with potential invaders & prevent foregien microbes from infecting the body
Lactobacillus acidophilus in the vagina prevent growth of other pathogens
Cooperation (mutualism)
some microbes help each other
the waste product of some microbes are used a food for another
Nitrosomonas excretes the toxic waste product NO2(nitrite) Nitrobacteria uses NO2 as an energy source and thus eliminates it
