In: Biology
research one specific species of microorganism which is beneficial to us. The categories in that reading may help you determine which general topic you want to go with, but in your post this week, you will need to describe a microbe and its actions more specifically.
Make one post this week giving the name of the bacterium, what its helpful role is, and what the ramifications would be if that microbe did not exist.
Lactic Acid Bacteria(LAB) under scientific order lactobacillales are facultative anaerobic bacteria with a fermentative metabolism.
IMPORTANCE:
RAMIFICATIONS IF IT DOESNOT EXIST:
As lactobacillus can help us break down food, absorb nutrients, and fight off "unfriendly" organisms that cause diseases, absence of the bacteria will may not digest the food. Fermentation of food doesnt take place. The bakery industry will not carry on fermentation processes. Foods such as pickles cant be long stored.
