Typically, we can tolerate microorganisms, depending on the type. We have quite a few different bugs in our intestine, on our skin and in our mouths, and for the most part they do no significant harm. However, many bacteria and fungi grow a colony on a food source and produce a toxin to prevent other microorganisms from growing.
Botulism food poisoning isn't actually caused by the bacteria, it's the toxin that the bacteria produces to "protect its turf." The bacteria is quite harmless and easily killed but the toxin is quite resistant. Same with yeast. It converts sugar (food source) into alcohol as a toxin to protect it's turf. Same with Penicillin and almost every microorganism you can imagine.
In reality, we could not live without microorganisms, and while most are harmless, some are even beneficial, and some can make you quite ill or even kill you.
Odds are, you'll find some there already. Usually a few won't hurt you, but many can get you sick.
Temperature, type of food (resources in the food) and type of microorganism.

no
Steril processing technicion microorganisms is used for food production.
The beneficial microorganisms introduced into this food give it it's unique flavor would be cheese.
Absolutely. The microorganisms in your digestive system help your body break down food. The food chain that EVERY living thing is a part of begins and ends with microorganisms. Yeast makes beer and bread. Etc, etc.
They need food. But don't feed them after midnight.
Four factors which affect the growth of microorganisms are: temperature food source for microorganisms (ie. sugar, protein, fat) the amount of microorganisms introduced to the food source ph of the food source
they reproduce more than food poisoning microorganisms. In food poisoning the microorganisms are spreadable but not in food borne microorganisms :) Hope his helps Janet
Microorganisms help break down and decompose food. These microorganisms are what cause food to spoil and grow mold on it.

Why is it that dried food sample can contain lower numbers of microorganisms

Phytoplankton are microorganisms that live in the water and can photosynthesize, which are key to the marine food chain since they are at the bottom of the chain. Also, some microorganisms are filter organisms, which get their food by cleaning out junk from the water or air.

yes because food is also a matter.

Microorganisms can reach your food for several different reasons. Some foods and drinks are made with microorganisms as an ingredient such as the bacteria used to make cheese. Other microorganisms can come from someone handling food without washing their hands or several other sources.
