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.
Some microbes need oxygen to live, but others do not. These microscopic organisms are found in plants and animals as well as in the human body. Some microbes cause disease in humans, plants, and animals.Others are essential for a healthy life, and we could not exist without them.Indeed, the relationship between microbes and humans is delicate and complex. common word for microbes that cause disease is germs.. Some people refer to disease-causing microbes as bugs.. I've got the flu bug, for example, is a phrase you may hear during the wintertime to describe an influenza virus infection.
