It's chlorine that kills the harmful bacteria in drinking water.
Bacteria can be both harmful and helpful. Harmful bacteria can cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants. However, some bacteria are beneficial and play important roles in processes like digestion, nutrient cycling, and decomposition.
Insects are harmful to crops because they can be carrying dirty kinds of bacteria, and they can cause diseases in plants and kill plants.
The word pathogenic means disease causing. So they can be harmful...but some pathogenic bacteria only are harmful to plants or dogs or cats, etc.
No, bacteria in compost are beneficial for breaking down organic matter and aiding in the decomposition process. These bacteria help create nutrient-rich soil that can be beneficial for plants and gardening.
Bacteria can decrease soil fertility by competing with plants for nutrients, releasing enzymes that break down organic matter before plants can access it, and by producing toxins harmful to plants. Additionally, certain bacteria may form symbiotic relationships with plants that inhibit nutrient uptake or growth.
Yes, plants can have bacteria living on and within their tissues. Some bacteria form symbiotic relationships with plants, providing benefits such as nitrogen fixation or protection against pathogens. However, some bacteria can also be harmful to plants, causing diseases.
Not all bacteria that form spores are harmful. In fact, spore formation is a survival mechanism for many bacteria to endure harsh conditions. While some spore-forming bacteria can be harmful, such as Clostridium botulinum or Bacillus anthracis, many others are harmless or even beneficial.
These plants are known as algae. They are photosynthetic organisms that can be found in various aquatic environments, such as freshwater and marine habitats. Algae play a crucial role in the ecosystem by producing oxygen and serving as a food source for many aquatic organisms.
Certain types of bacteria can be harmful to the environment. Others help with natural processes like decomposing and stuff like that. So, it depends what kind of bacteria you are talking about.
D) bacteria
A harmful microorganism is a pathogen that can cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Examples include bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli, viruses like influenza and HIV, and fungi like Aspergillus and Candida.
