  1. Bacteria used in food production. Lactobacter is used with milk to make yoghurt or cheeses.
  2. Bacteria are used in the human gut to absorb vitamins, nutrients and to digest some carbohydrates that would otherwise not be digestible by humans.
  3. Bacteria are used in industry to clean up waste. Bacteria that can feed on herbicides or pesticides can clean up ground water. Bacteria that feed on oil can help clean up oil spills.
