Best Answer

some bacteria secrete enzymes that help in the making of some foods.

other kinds of bacteria help the human body big time, like the intestinal flora. These help the body break down cellulose, plus they provide an intestinal surface cover layer to prevent pathogenic bacteria from taking a place to settle down in the body, and finally they can secrete chemicals to fight some invading pathogenic microbes.
