Natural Bacteria
Eliminate Organic Wastes
Natural Bacteria eliminate Organic Wastes by a process called "Bacterial Digestion".
This is the process of bacteria consuming organic wastes. The Bacteria feed on organic wastes
deriving nutrition for growth and reproduction. The Environmentally Friendly result of this process is Carbon
Dioxide and Water.
Products using this Natural Decomposition Process are known as Bacterial Digestants.
Natural Bacteria (definition)
Natural Bacteria (singular: bacterium) are unicellular microorganisms. They are typically a few
micrometers long and have many shapes including curved rods, spheres, rods, and spirals. The study of bacteria is
bacteriology, a branch of microbiology.
Natural Bacteria are ubiquitous in every habitat on Earth, growing in soil, acidic hot springs,
radioactive waste, seawater, and deep in the earth's crust.
There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil and a million bacterial cells in a
millilitre of fresh water; in all, there are approximately five nonillion (5×1030) bacteria in the world.
Natural Bacteria - Vital To Receycling Nutrients
Natural Bacteria are vital to recycling nutrients, and many important steps in nutrient cycles
depend on bacteria, such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere.
However, most species of Natural Bacteria have not been characterised, and only about half of the
phyla of bacteria species can be cultured in the laboratory.
There are approximately 10 times as many bacterial cells as human cells in the human body, with
large numbers of bacteria on the skin and in the digestive tract.
Although the vast majority of these bacteria are rendered harmless or Beneficial Bacteria by
the protective effects of the immune system, a few pathogenic bacteria cause infectious diseases, including
cholera, syphilis, anthrax, leprosy and bubonic plague.
Bacteria Are Prokaryote's
Bacteria are prokaryote. Unlike animals and other eukaryote's, bacterial cells do not contain a
nucleus or other membrane-bound organelle's.
Although the term bacteria traditionally included all prokaryote's, the scientific nomenclature
changed after the discovery that prokaryotic life consists of two very different groups of organisms that evolved
independently from an ancient common ancestor.
These evolutionary domains are called Bacteria and Archaea.
