Typically, we can tolerate microorganisms, depending on the type. We have quite a few different bugs in our intestine, on our skin and in our mouths, and for the most part they do no significant harm. However, many bacteria and fungi grow a colony on a food source and produce a toxin to prevent other microorganisms from growing.
Botulism food poisoning isn't actually caused by the bacteria, it's the toxin that the bacteria produces to "protect its turf." The bacteria is quite harmless and easily killed but the toxin is quite resistant. Same with yeast. It converts sugar (food source) into alcohol as a toxin to protect it's turf. Same with Penicillin and almost every microorganism you can imagine.
In reality, we could not live without microorganisms, and while most are harmless, some are even beneficial, and some can make you quite ill or even kill you.

What microorganisms are tested for in sterile processing?
Steril processing technicion microorganisms is used for food production.
What is the difference between foodborne microorganisms and food poisoning microorganisms?
All micro-organisms are no food poisoning micro-organisms,but all food poisoning micro-organisms are a category of micro-organisms. Food poisoning micro-organisms are harmful for a person but all micro-organisms are not harmful for example lacto-bacallius is a micro-organisms which is present in curd(yogurt) causes no food-poisoning whereas The microorganism salmonella bacteria, causes an infectious illness and can be passed on to another person and causes food poisoning.

Why is foodborne micro-organisms differ from food poisoning micro-organisms?
they reproduce more than food poisoning microorganisms. In food poisoning the microorganisms are spreadable but not in food borne microorganisms :) Hope his helps Janet
What are the effects of micro-organisms on food?

How do microorganisms create food and drink?
Phytoplankton are microorganisms that live in the water and can photosynthesize, which are key to the marine food chain since they are at the bottom of the chain. Also, some microorganisms are filter organisms, which get their food by cleaning out junk from the water or air.
What microorganisms are tested for in sterile processing?
Steril processing technicion microorganisms is used for food production.
Are microorganisms live in food?
yes because food is also a matter.
Why is it that dried food sample can contain lower numbers of microorganisms?
Drying food removes moisture, which is essential for microbial growth. Without water, microorganisms struggle to survive, reducing their numbers in dried food samples. Additionally, drying can also disrupt the cellular structure of microorganisms, further inhibiting their growth and proliferation.
What part of the body contains acid that kills microorganisms in your food?
The stomach contains hydrochloric acid which helps to kill microorganisms in food and aids in digestion.
What is the difference between foodborne microorganisms and food poisoning microorganisms?
