Chapter-2:Microbes in human welfare
Introduction:
Microbes are beneficial as well as detrimental to the welfare of human beings. Microbes are utilized in many ways for human beings. These microscopic organisms produce half the oxygen in the world. Many types of fungus and other microbes release enzymes that digest dead stuff. They are more than half of the living biomass on the planet. In human body, 9 out of 10 cells are microbes. Microbes are everywhere on our body, in homes, far below the earth’s surface and up to the atmosphere, in cold, cool, warm and hot and very hot places, and even in places without oxygen. Microorganisms always live in water. They can eat all sorts of things, including oil, rocks, dead and living plants and animals.
