explain the microbes present in the Industrial Products
Answers
Microbes belong to diverse groups of organisms — bacteria, fungi, protozoa, microscopic plants.
Viruses, viroids and prions are also included amongst microbes. They are infectious agents. Viruses are nucleoprotein entities, Viroids are made up of only nucleic acids. Prions are proteinaceous infectious agents. The three cannot be cultured in cell free extracts. Most of the other microbes can be grown on nutritive media where they form colonies, e.g., bacteria, fungi. The colonies can be seen with naked eyes. They are useful in the study of various aspects of microorganisms.

While microbes are causal agents of most of the infectious diseases, they have also been in use by humans and nature in many important processes in homes, industries, agricultures and sewage treatment. Rather, microbes become part of many useful articles used by early humans like fermented honey (alcoholic drink mead), wines, bread, curd, cheese, separation of plant fibres, etc.
