    Microbes, or microorganisms, are microscopic organisms that are either single-celled or multicellular. They are useful in many areas of our daily lives such as making food and beverages, producing household products, treating sewage, and generating fuel. However, some microbes can also be harmful if they cause food poisoning from undercooked meat or untreated wound infections. The document discusses the types of microbes and how they are useful in areas like food production, health, agriculture, and energy, but also the ways that some microbes can be harmful if ingested or if they infect wounds.

    WHAT ARE MICROBES ?
    • A microbe or microorganism is a microscopic
    organism that comprises either a single cell
    (unicellular), cell clusters, or multicellular
    relatively complex organisms .
    HOW DO WE USE MICROBES IN OUR DAILY LIFE ?
    • WE USE IN OUR DAILY LIFE LIKE :
    • MAKING LEATHER
    • MAKING FOOD
    • THEY ARE SPARYED ON CROPS
    • THEY ARE USED IN HEALTH
    • THEY ARE USED IN HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS
    • THEY ARE USED IN ANIMAL PRODUCTION
    WHY ARE MICROBES USEFUL TO US ?
    • Microorganisms are used in brewing, winemaking, baking, pickling and other
    food-making processes.

    They are also used to control the fermentation process in the production of
    cultured dairy products such as yogurt and cheese. The cultures also provide
    flavour and aroma, and inhibit undesirable organisms.

    Use in water treatment


    Microbes are used in the biological treatment of sewage and industrial waste
    effluents
    Use in energy
    Microbes are used in fermentation to produce ethanol.
    Use in science
    WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF MICROBES ?
    • BACTERIA
    • VIRUS
    • FUNGI
    • PROTOZOA
    IN WHAT WAY ARE THEY HARMFUL ?
    FOOD POISING

    Bacteria are the cause of many foodborne illnesses resulting from


    undercooked or unwashed food. Examples of these are Escherichia coli
    (E. coli) found in beef and unwashed vegetables and Salmonella enterica
    commonly found in chicken.

    WOUND INFECTION
    Bacteria may also cause sepsis in untreated wounds and cuts. If left
    untreated, these infections can lead to loss of limbs and even death.
    Examples of these types of bacteria include Clostridium perfringens
    (gangrene) and Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
