Microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, play a crucial role in the overall health and balance of your aquarium ecosystem. They help to process waste and toxins (such as ammonium), serve as fish food, convert nutrients into forms that can be used by plants and animals, and contribute to the overall biodiversity of your tank.
It's important to note that while microbes are essential for a healthy aquarium, it's also important to maintain a balance. Too many or too few microbes can lead to problems, so it's important to regularly test and monitor the microbial population in your tank.

![How I put a BANANA under microscope | Why plants use STARCH for storage π¬ 239
Today we have a look at the starch granules from a banana. I show you the preparation technique and the iodine reaction. I will also talk about why plants use starch for storing glucose.
Correction: In the video I stated that pure glucose can rarely be found in nature. This is not accurate. Glucose (and other sugars such as fructose) can be found in fruit, after all, these make the fruit taste sweet. The majority of glucose can be found in plants in starch and also in the cell wall in the form of cellulose.
