No. The microbes in your gut help you to stay alive. The microbial cells in your body outnumber your own cells.

2 main microbes involved in decay?

Two main microbes involved in decay are bacteria and fungi. Bacteria break down organic matter by releasing enzymes that break down complex molecules into simple compounds. Fungi, such as molds and yeast, also play a significant role in decomposing organic material by secreting enzymes to break down organic matter.


What are the advantages and disadvantage of microbes?

There are good microbes in your intestines that help you digest food. There are also good microbes in the soil that break down dead plants and other waste, producing nutrients for the next generation of plants. Bad microbes would be the ones that make you sick, such as an infected cut, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.


What is the harm of microorganisms?

Microorganisms can cause harm by causing infections, diseases, and food spoilage. Some microorganisms can produce toxins that are harmful when consumed. Additionally, certain microorganisms can damage materials and structures through processes like corrosion and decay.


What is the cause that remains of animals or plants decay?

Things called decomposers break down the remains of dead plants and animals. They help to recycle the things in the plants and animals that can be useful to other plants and animals. They are the most numerous organisms in an ecosystem. Examples of decomposers include bacteria, fungi, some insects, and snails, which means they are not always microscopic.


Bacteria causes what decay?

All decay is bacterial (except when the term is used metaphorically, as in social decay).

How does freezing prevent from decay?

Decay is caused by insects and microscopic organisms breaking organic matter down as a part of their feeding process. When it is too cold for these things to function, then they can't cause decay.

Are you supposed to refrigerate APPLES after you buy them and amp go home are they supposed to be refrigerate th?

Fruit will always keep longer if kept refrigerated. The low temperature inhibits the growth of microbes and slows down the natural decay.
