There are many bacteria that serve beneficial roles. Bacteria in the environment break down dead matter and waste, allowing it to be re-used by other living things. Some soil bacteria convert nitrogen into a form that plants can use, allowing them to grow. Many animals, including humans, have bacteria in their digestive tracts that aid in digestion and protect against harmful bacteria.
We could not live without bacteria.
