Microbes are single celled living things too small to see.

All higher life forms depend to some extent on microbes.

Microbes are what turn milk into yogurt, and may be found there. They cause bread to rise. They may be found in bread dough. They are used to make sauerkraut, kimchee and certain other kinds of pickles, and can be found there.

Microbes are at the base of the food chain. They are eaten by tiny animals that are, in turn, eaten by larger animals.

Microbes are important in composting and putting nitrogen into the soil. There are many kinds of beneficial microbes in the soil.

Cows and horses and many other kinds of plant eating animals have microbes in their stomachs and intestines. These microbes break down cellulose, which is what the cell walls of the plants the eat are made of. Without these microbes, the cows and horses would die. In fact, we could guess that all animals with intestines have microbes in them.

We could go on. And on. and on.

How can microbes be useful in compost bins?

The advancement of the process of breakdown of compostable materials is the way in which microbes can be useful in compost bins. The microbes in question may appear as beneficial bacteria and fungi. They decompose carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables and thereby generate the energy and heat which ensure efficient decomposition in less than a year.


3 advantages of microbes?

1) Microbes helps in bio degradation and decomposition. 2) Microbes helps in fermentation process to take place. 3) Microbes helps in bio transformation as well. That is one biological compound is transformed to another useful biological compound with the help of microbes.


Are bacteria microbes?

Yes, bacteria are a type of microbe. Microbes are microscopic organisms that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can be found in various environments and play important roles in the ecosystem.


How are microbes useful in household life?

Microbes are very important part of ecology the main or general function of microbes to human or enviornmental wellfare is to work as decomposers. Microbes like bacteria and fungi are also used in industrial production of enzymes and proteins or some antibiotics. Some fungi like yeast is also used in making wine and other in dairy products.The another useful function of microbe is to study the action and mechaninsms of genetic disease as E.coli is many time taken as model to study genetic diseases

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.

What can microbes do?

There are both harmful and useful microbes. Harmful microbes like bacteria,virus and fungus can cause diseases while some useful microbes like bacteria can help in fermentation process like the yeast or as food like mushroom and many lacobacillus microbes that help in producing vitamins and in synthesis of food.Many microbes help produce antibiotic medicines. Microbes like algae are edible or help by photosynthesis to maintain the CO2 -O2 balance in the environment.
