What do fungi and bacteria eat in the arctic?

Answer 1

Well fungi are decomposers so they absorb the nutriens from dead things so the dead plant or animal breaks down into the soil and creates nutrients for other plants and fungi to absorb. I dont know much about bacteria though.

Answer 2

Fungi and bacteria in the Arctic primarily decompose organic matter such as dead plant material, animal remains, and other organic substances. They break down these materials into simpler compounds that can be used by other organisms in the ecosystem. Additionally, some fungi and bacteria can also obtain nutrients from the surrounding environment, such as minerals and nitrogen compounds.
