The microorganism that is useful in beer, is yeast. Yeast is made up of millions of live cells that are part of the fungi family (including mushrooms and toadstools). When added to the 'wort' - the mixture of sugar, water, barley and hops from which the beer is made, the yeast feeds on the sugar content of the wort. Enzymes in the yeast convert the sugars firstly into glucose and then into ethanol - alcohol as we know it, plus the gas carbon dioxide, and the small amount of yeast added grows and reproduces prolonging this process we call fermentation. When the alcohol content rises to a particular level (depending on the tolerance of the yeast) the yeast cells die and impart further flavour to the beer. Before bottling or putting onto casks, the beer is decanted or filtered to remove the dead yeast or the beer would end up cloudy.
If the beer is bottled before fermentation is fully complete, the carbon dioxide produced dissolves in the beer under pressure. This helps improve flavour too, helps preserve the beer in the bottle (carbon dioxide is slightly acid) and the dissolved carbon dioxide under pressure us released after the bottle is opened making the beer very fizzy.

What industries use microbes to make useful products?
Biotechnological industries.
What is a microbe and what can it do?
a microbe is a small part of bacteria that cant be seen by a human eye its so tiny you would have to use a micro-scope microbes can spread very quickly and easily that's why people say when you sneeze use a tissue or when you cough. microbes make people seriously ill and its worse when it is spreaded
How do you break down cellulose in grass to make it eatable?
Cellulose in grass can be broken down by ruminant animals such as cows, sheep, and goats that have specialized stomachs with microbes that produce enzymes to digest cellulose. The microbes ferment the cellulose into simpler compounds that the animal can absorb and use for energy. Humans, however, cannot digest cellulose as efficiently due to the lack of these specialized enzymes.
Can you use regular yeast to make beer?
Yes, regular yeast can be used to make beer, but most commonly, brewers use specific strains of yeast called brewer's yeast that are better suited for brewing beer. These strains of yeast contribute unique flavors and characteristics to the beer that regular yeast may not produce.
Do humans use fungus in any way?
Yes, they rely on it to recycle dead organisms, and they use it to bake bread, and make wine and beer. Some cheeses are made with fungi. Other than this, fungus is very poisonous to people. And in case you didn't know this, fungus is a type of mold.
What industries use microbes to make useful products?

Can yeast be use to make beer?
yes
Are all microbes good?
No, all microbes are not good. Some are very harmful for us . Some microbes such as- protozoa, bacteria, fungi can be bad for our health. Yeast is a type of microbe which we use to make bread.

How do animals use hydrogen?
Animals do not use hydrogen directly. However, some microbes living in the gut of animals can use hydrogen as an energy source through a process called methanogenesis. In this process, hydrogen is used by microbes to produce methane gas that is then expelled by the animal.
Can you use regular yeast to make beer?

Does tooth paste use microbes?
No
How do scientists get microbes?
they use a robot to scoop up mud from the ocean, the mud is full of microbes
How do humans influence the evolution of microbes?
Humans influence the evolution of microbes through factors like antibiotic use, which exerts selective pressure on microbial populations, driving the development of resistance. Changes in environment and diet also impact microbial evolution by altering microbial populations and metabolic processes. Additionally, human activities like agriculture and urbanization can facilitate the spread of beneficial or harmful microbes, impacting their evolutionary trajectory.
What other names do you use for microbes?
Germs.
How do microbes help make paper?
I am not sure whether it has been put in use in an industrial scale or not but microbes have the potential to degrade lignin using enzymes which is also the polyphenolic component of wood. Thus, microbes especially white rot fungi can help in the pulping of wood which is the raw material for making paper.
