Abstract

This review explores the distribution and ecological roles of microorganisms in freshwater ecosystems. These environments support a wide array of microbial communities that are fundamental to nutrient cycling, energy transfer, and ecosystem stability. By synthesizing current research findings and methodologies, this paper highlights the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of freshwater microorganisms and examines their functional activities, such as biofilm formation, symbiotic interactions, and involvement in carbon and nutrient transformations. The review also addresses the ecological significance of these microbial communities and their responses to environmental changes, emphasizing the importance of microbial ecology in the management and conservation of freshwater resources.
