AnswerWhy, bacteria eat almost anything they can get! Of course, they can't chew through cement. They can eat anything edible to animals and humans, probably more! Take wood for example, termites eat wood, bacteria eat wood too. In fact, termites wouldn't even be able to eat wood if it wasn't for the bacteria in their stomachs!

Bacteria are decomposers. Decomposers eat anything dead and once they are finished they put nutrients from the dead object or plant back into the ground to grow new plants.
