The distribution of microorganisms in nature ecosystem depends on the resources (nutrients) available and on the growth conditions. Temperature, pH, water availability, light, oxygen of a habitat define the niche for each particular microorganism

Soil particles are not homogeneous in terms of their oxygen content. The outer zones of a small soil particle may be fully oxic, whereas the center, only a very short distance away, can remain completely anoxic

A soil aggregate composed of mineral and organic components, showing that localization of soil microbes. Very few microorganisms are found free in the soil solution; most of them occur as microcolonies attached to the soil particles
