enrichment
What does bacteria do?
Bacteria is a decomposer that will break down dead or decaying animal and plant matter. Bacteria can also cause infection in humans. Bacteria is a single celled organisms, classified as Prokaryotes. Like other organisms in the Earth, bacteria carry out motility, reproduction, take nutrients, excretion at a cellular level. There are variety of bacteria out there that has unique properties such as degrading organic compounds,heavy metals, ferment sugars, etc. The parasitic bacteria sadly causing mild to severe disease.
What is one example of a pollutant that bacteria can help to break down?
Bacteria can break down the Phosphonic acids, persistent and potentially hazardous environmental pollutants that are found in many common medicinal products, detergents and herbicides.

What is pre enrichment media?
media which is used for all types of bacteria to grow
Is bacteria used as a pesticide?
Yes certain bacteria is used in pesticides but can be harmful to plants and animals.
Explain why the oil degrading bacteria do not grow if nitrogen and phosphorus are not added?
Petroleum can meet the carbon and energy requirements for an oil-degrading bacterium, but nitrogen and phosphate are not usually available in mass amounts. Nitrogen and phosphate are essential for making proteins, phospholipids, nucleic acids, and ATP among the bacteria.
What are some biological alternatives to chemical pesticides?
Some biological alternatives to the use of chemical pesticides is to use biological control agents like fungi, bacteria, or viruses.
What do apples with pesticide have in them to make them last longer?
The pesticides kill bacteria that eats/rots the apple.
What is the impact of bacteria on society?
The impact that bacteria has on society is, if it is harm full we would release pesticides which cause pollution that lead to health risk. Also bacteria could cause sickness to people.

Yes
Why is a condensation leak in a walk-in hazardous?
Wet areas may harbor bacteria which can contaminate food.
What must food have to make it hazardous?
Several foods are prone to developing harmful bacteria sooner than others. They are usually raw foods like seafood and chicken. The traits that make them potentially hazardous are the fact that they provide a good breeding ground for bacteria.
