Best Answer

Bacteria do eat other bacteria, using mechanisms such as phagocytosis and endocytosis.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a kind of bacteria which feeds on other bacteria.

It is the purifying agent of water in the River Ganges.

Research is being done to see if such bacteria can be used to kill bacteria that cause diseases.

Heterotrophic flagellates, ciliates, rotifers, and many other filter feeding organisms consume bacteria. Some of these are complex animals, like black fly larvae, caddisflies, and brine shrimp. Some of these organisms also consume fungi. Mites, slugs, and many vertebrates also consume fungi.
