Frederick Griffith in 1928 using two different types of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae first demonstrated bacterial transformation.
Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms. Living bacteria are not dead.
Both living and dead animals host bacteria. If something is wet at all its very often covered with bacteria.

About 3/4 of an average piece of poop is made of water. Of the remaining 1/4, about 1/3 of it is dead bacteria from your intestines; another 1/3 is fibrous matter; the remaining amount is made up of fats, phosphates, living bacteria, dead cells, mucus, protein, etc.
Cavity bacteria is alive
some bacteria requires air and food to suvive while some bacteria gets alive on entering a living body. ex.-a bacteria is dead when it is in non living environwent but when it eenters a living body it becomes alive.
Bacteria breaks down and converts other living and dead organisms into food. If it werent for bacteria and detritus feeders the earth would be scattered with dead animals and trees
because technically they aren't alive. but they also aren't dead. they, unlike bacteria, don't have they necessary qualities to be considered 'living.' they lack certain traits that scientists use to consider what is living or what is dead.
Dead things, bacteria, and rocks.
Parasitic bacteria rely on living hosts for nutrients and cause harm to the host, while saprophytic bacteria obtain nutrients from dead organic matter without causing harm to living organisms. Parasitic bacteria typically have specialized mechanisms for invading host cells, while saprophytic bacteria decompose organic material through extracellular enzymes.
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
No, internal bugs do not eat dead bodies. Internal bugs, typically referring to parasites or bacteria living inside a living organism, do not have the capability to consume a dead body. Scavengers like insects and bacteria from the external environment are responsible for decomposition after death.
