indigenous microorganisms

Indigenous microorganisms are tiny living organisms naturally present in a specific environment, such as soil, water, or air. They include bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that have adapted to thrive there over time. These native microbes play essential roles in maintaining ecological balance by breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and supporting plant growth. Because they are already adapted to their surroundings, indigenous microorganisms are often more effective and sustainable for processes like waste treatment, agriculture, and environmental restoration compared to introduced species.
