👉 Microtinae, also known as "microorganisms," refers to a group of small organisms that are typically found in aquatic environments. These organisms include bacteria, protozoa, and certain fungi. Microtinae play an important role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems by breaking down organic matter into simpler forms such as carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients for the plant life. They also help to regulate pH levels in water bodies through their ability to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
