Bacteria produce GAS in Humans... but perhaps that isn't quite what you're wanting.

But, that fact isn't particularly unrelated to one of the big products of bacteria, Methane. Many garbage dumps now have Methane powered generators, and some farms are now adding methane digesters for their waste. And many new biotechnologies now are including methane digestion.

Another usage of bacteria and other microorganisms is a relatively new field of using Recombinant DNA in bacteria to produce Insulin, and other hormones or proteins for use in medicine.
See Wikipedia Article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombinant_DNA

The advantage of producing them with bacteria include better quality control, the ability to use "human genes/human hormones&proteins" vs using those of animals which can lead to issues with allergens. And, the ability to prevent disease transmission from the use of blood products.

Give examples of three types of decomposers and describe their effects on soil?

First type of decomposer is bacteria. Most abundant decomposers. Bacteria produce methane as a by-product. Second type is fungi are the also efficient next to bacteria.
