When algae die, they decompose and the nutrients contained in that organic matter are converted into inorganic form by microorganisms. This decomposition process consumes oxygen, which reduces the concentration of dissolved oxygen.

A microorganism or microbe is an organism which is too small to be seen by the unaided human eye. They are microscopic. The study of microorganisms is called microbiology. Microorganisms include bacteria, fungi, archaea or protists and viruses.

Inside the water bodies when dead and decaying matters are present then it starts decomposing.This decomposition is carried out by microorganism like bacteria and fungi.This decomposition process takes place either in aerobic or in anaerobic medium.But in this case decomposition takes place in aerobic medium i.e require oxygen.So the level of oxygen decreases inside water bodies.
