HOW MICROORGNISM HAVE PROFOUND EFFECTS ON HUMAN BEINGS?:
HOW MICROORGNISM HAVE PROFOUND EFFECTS ON HUMAN BEINGS? Useful to human. Produce various useful substances Examples : Yeast to make bread. Bacteria Clostridium tyrobutyricum to make cheese. Bacteria such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus are used to produce yogurt Penicillium a type of fungi produce penicillin, a type of antibiotic. Genetically modified bacteria used to produce insulin for treating diabetes
HOW MICROORGNISM HAVE PROFOUND EFFECTS ON THE BALANCE OF NATURE:
HOW MICROORGNISM HAVE PROFOUND EFFECTS ON THE BALANCE OF NATURE To preserve the balance of nature. Bacteria in the soil release nitrates used by plants. Microscopic algae that float in the oceans are the ultimate source of food for almost marine life. Decomposing bacteria helps to clean the environment from waste materials from humans, animals and plants. Nitrogen fixing bacteria helps in the nitrogen cycle. Some algae acts as oxygen factory since they release more oxygen to the atmosphere.
