What are the advantages and disadvantage of microbes?

There are good microbes in your intestines that help you digest food. There are also good microbes in the soil that break down dead plants and other waste, producing nutrients for the next generation of plants. Bad microbes would be the ones that make you sick, such as an infected cut, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.


Disadvantages of using microorganisms in food production?

well, it would make it sweeter and easier to make and would be good for the human body


What are microbes used as?

They are used to make bread


Where you can fing useful microbes?

Microbes are single celled living things too small to see. All higher life forms depend to some extent on microbes. Microbes are what turn milk into yogurt, and may be found there. They cause bread to rise. They may be found in bread dough. They are used to make sauerkraut, kimchee and certain other kinds of pickles, and can be found there. Microbes are at the base of the food chain. They are eaten by tiny animals that are, in turn, eaten by larger animals. Microbes are important in composting and putting nitrogen into the soil. There are many kinds of beneficial microbes in the soil. Cows and horses and many other kinds of plant eating animals have microbes in their stomachs and intestines. These microbes break down cellulose, which is what the cell walls of the plants the eat are made of. Without these microbes, the cows and horses would die. In fact, we could guess that all animals with intestines have microbes in them. We could go on. And on. and on.


3 advantages of microbes?

1) Microbes helps in bio degradation and decomposition. 2) Microbes helps in fermentation process to take place. 3) Microbes helps in bio transformation as well. That is one biological compound is transformed to another useful biological compound with the help of microbes.

Which foods contains microbes in them?

All foods contain microbes. Processed and unprocessed foods such as milk, eggs, broccoli, beans, cereals and meats naturally contain bacteria and other living organisms. Most of these microbes are don't cause any harm and can even be good for us but others can make our food smell bad or worse, make us sick. The microbes that make us sick are called pathogens. Food companies have special testing systems in place to make sure their products are pathogen-free before they arrive on supermarket shelves. As for the microbes that cause bad smells (spoilage microbes), we can stop them growing by storing our food correctly (check the package for instructions) and consuming it before its expiration date.


Are all microbes good?

No, all microbes are not good. Some are very harmful for us . Some microbes such as- protozoa, bacteria, fungi can be bad for our health. Yeast is a type of microbe which we use to make bread.


What leads to food poisoning?

What are Types of microbes?

The most useful types of microbes are the ones in your digestion system that digest food. There are also 'good' bacteria, which kill and eat 'bad' bacteria. The good bacteria don't harm you in any way, but the bad sort can make you sick with all sorts of illnesses. Answer by waleed king osama

How and why does food spoil?

Food spoils/goes rancid/goes off when microbes on the food begin to grow, and reach levels which would make eating the food unpalatable/potentially harmful. Most microbes love living in an environment which is slightly warm, with a food source and some liquid (the last two things are generally provided by the food item they are living on). Putting your food in the fridge or freezer reduces the temperature which the microbes live in, hence they cannot breed as quickly so your food remains fresher for longer.


Why should food temperatures be taken in two different locations?

In regards to food processing, it is important to make sure a food is cooked through in case there are any microbes inside.
