Seventy-one percent of the earth’s surfaces are covered by oceans.Water therefore are an important habitat for the microorganisms and the other living things.A consistent microbial biodiversity is present in water from phototrophs to chemioorganotrophs. The complex relathionships between different microorganisms and the environment are often modified by organic, chemical and physic contaminations. The input of organic material can determine pathogen pollution. The presence of pathogens has to be monitored to eliminate serious problems for animal and human health. Water, in fact, can be a vehicle direct (drinking water) or indirect (irrigue water) for microbial pathogens.
