There is a wide range of diverse soil and aquatic microbes reside in different deltas of the world that mainly exhibit in various forms such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, archaeans, actinomycetes, virus etc. They contribute to the environment in various ways to maintain the balance  of natural elements, bio geological components and also help in protecting the ecological components. Microbes that are living in the soil provide plants along with environmental and natural protection from diseases and pests. They are very much essential for transforming nitrogen and nutrients into the forms that is consumable for plants. Decomposition, production of Oxygen, evolution, as well as symbiosis are the vital roles that are played by different soil and aquatic microbes. Some river deltas show maximum populations of saline soil dependent bacterial and fungal community, where as some river deltas are enriched with some specific microbes that are responsible for soil remediation. In some cases some species of hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms contribute to differences in C, N, P ratios. As the microbes are also responsible for producing different antigens as well as allergens that are mainly causative agents for varying infectious diseases, in need of its curative drugs and antibiotic medicines  some microbes are involved in research studies for production of medicinal drugs and anti-allergens.
