Bread is not "formed" by microorganisms. However, yeast is added to bread dough as leavening. The yeast, consisting of many billions of microorganism, consume and digest sugars in the dough which produces gas. The gas bubbles cause the bread dough to expand or "rise."

Do microbes in bread make you ill?

It would be very unusual to get sick from any microbes found in bread. The yeasts that cause bread to rise are not toxic or harmful in any way. If a loaf of bread were badly spoiled and moldy, it would not be healthy, but it isn't likely anyone would eat badly molded 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.

How are microbes useful in bread?

The microbe in bread is yeast. Yeast is a living substance and it is useful in bread because it respires and creates bubbles that makes the bread rise. this happens when the bread dough is left in a warm area to rise. The yeast also makes alcohol during this proses but this evaporates when the bread is cooked. the cooking proses also kills the yeast.
