Answer 2

Answer:

i) Food Industry:

• The growing conditions offered by various food sources vary for microorganisms. Inherent factors including nutrients, pH, moisture content, and the physical makeup of the food, as well as extrinsic elements like temperature, relative humidity, and gases, regulate microbial development (CO2, O2).
• Thus, in the ideal environments created by the internal and external elements, microorganisms flourish and cause the food product to deteriorate and degrade, resulting in a sour, rancid-smelling, or fungus-covered mass that is inedible.
• Additionally, microbial development in food can result in outward modifications including color changes, the deposit of powdery growth, effervescences on the food surface, etc. Food can become contaminated by microbes at any stage of the production process, including growing, harvesting, transit, storage, and final preparation.

ii) Environment related:

• When it comes to human measurement or observation, the effects of bacteria on their surroundings can be advantageous, detrimental, or undetectable.
• The ability of bacteria to recycle the basic components that go into all living things, particularly carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, has a profound impact on the planet (N).
• Primary production is carried out by photosynthetic organisms, which absorb atmospheric CO2 and transform it into organic (cellular) matter.
• It is also known as CO2 fixation, and it is responsible for a sizable amount of the organic carbon that is accessible for the creation of cell material.
• Complex organic compounds are broken down into different forms of carbon that can be utilized by other organisms through decomposition or biodegradation.
