Bacteria break down (or decompose) dead organisms, animal waste, and plant litter to obtain nutrients. But microbes don't just eat nature's waste, they recycle it. The process of decomposition releases chemicals (such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) that can be used to build new plants and animals. That is, chemicals that used to be a flower or a vegetable will eventually become part of another living thing.

Even though the words 'microbe' and 'bacteria' are associated with disease for most people, not all microorganisms are 'bad guys'.This topic looks at the interactions between microorganisms and the human body.ome microbes are free-living organisms and others are parasites.
