Is scurvy caused by bacteria?

No. Scurvy is caused by vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency. The sailors used to get it at sea when they didn't have adequate vitamin C in their diets. The English caught onto this and their sailors brought limes which they sucked on. This solved the problem of scurvy and earned the sailors (and other people), of the then world-dominating, imperialistic country, the name "limeys".
