It does both, but not completely.During fermentation of pickled vegetables, the bacteria (especially useful lactic bacteria) convert the sugars into lactic acid (and other organic acids) that kills some other bacteria, and stops others from reproducing. During pickling process usually are added some herbs and spices (such as mustrard seed or garlic) that have antimicrobial properties, and almost always is added salt, that also kills bacteria (very high levels of salt may even sterilize the pickled food, killing all the bacteria).
In cool winter months, pickled vegetables last for several months without sterilization (if sterilization is needed, that is usually done by boiling, but ruins the quality of the vegetables).
What else can I help you with?
How is a pickle a microorganism?
Microbes make the pickling process possible. The microbe used is an anaerobe called Lactobacillus plantarum. The pickling process is a way of preserving food just as canning or freezing. But the pickle itself is not a microbe. A microbe requires a microscope to see.
How does dehydration prevent microbes from growing in food?
Dehydration removes moisture from food, creating an environment where microbes cannot thrive because they require moisture to grow. Without water, bacteria and other microorganisms are unable to reproduce or metabolize effectively, decreasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Additionally, dehydration can inhibit enzymatic activity in microbes, further preventing their growth in food.
How is water removed from cells when food is pickled for human consumption?
In the pickling process, salt and/or vinegar draw water out of the cells of the food through osmosis. The high concentration of salt or vinegar in the pickling solution causes water to move out of the cells and into the surrounding liquid, which helps preserve the food and create its characteristic texture and flavor.
Which microbes are prevented from spreading and how these ways work?
Microbes can be prevented from spreading through measures such as regular handwashing, disinfection of surfaces, and proper food handling practices. For example, handwashing with soap and water helps to remove microbes from the hands, while disinfecting surfaces kills microbes present on them. Proper food handling practices, such as cooking food to the appropriate temperature, help to kill microbes that may be present in the food.
How do microbes spoil food?
Microbes spoil food by breaking down nutrients in the food, producing byproducts like gases and acids which can alter the taste, texture, and smell of the food. They can also create toxins that are harmful to humans when consumed. Additionally, microbes can outcompete the natural defenses of the food, leading to spoilage.

What is the process of soaking and storing food in brine?
pickling
How bacteria growth can be controlled?
It dependes on where the bacteria are growing. You can use antibiotics if they are in your body. If they are on food the refrigeration, salting and pickling. You could also limit the food source avalible.
What food does microbes need to survive?
Microbes need a food to survive
How did the Romans obtain their food?
The Romans obtained their food by either growing it or by importing it. Egypt and Sicily were two of the main sources for Roman food.The Romans obtained their food by either growing it or by importing it.

Are microbes useful are harmful?
Microbes might be either useful or harmful. Those that cause disease are of course, harmful, but there are millions of microbes in your body that aid in functions such as digestion. There are also microbes that occur in food products. Yeast is a good example. Also yogurt contains microbes as part of the product.

How does pickling stop food decay?
pee on it
How do the microbes damage the food?
Microbes are decomposers. And they will begin the process of removing nutrients from food by breaking down the food.
What are the methods of preserving food and their action to food?
Salting, Pickling etc
What is the examples of food preserve?
vinegar (when pickling), salt . . .
Are there any drawbacks to using microbes to clean up pollution?
There is the potential that the microbes used will either become dominant in the environment and alter to consume other food sources, or that they will change enough that we can no longer control them.
