of the atmosphere since the early days of their evolution and it is because of their
activities, this earth has been transformed into today’s situation. These tiny and often
unseen organisms are responsible for recycling of nutrients and organic compounds
and contribute to plant, animal and human nutrition, soil structure and fertility, soil
health and ecosystem functioning. Prokaryotes, the first life forms of the earth are
considered as the ancestors of all kinds of organisms. These life forms with cells
having hereditary information not bound by the nucleus (karyon) have existed twice
longer (4 Gyr) than higher eukaryotic organisms with DNA bound in nucleus such
as fungi, plants and animals (2 Gyr).Not Availabl
