Bacteria
Bacteria, microscopic organisms ubiquitous in the Earth's biosphere, play a pivotal role in shaping the environment and influencing various biological processes. With a diverse array of species, bacteria inhabit diverse ecosystems, from the depths of the ocean to the human digestive system. These single-celled organisms exhibit remarkable adaptability, contributing to vital functions such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. While some bacteria are pathogenic and cause diseases, many are beneficial, participating in essential symbiotic relationships and serving as agents for various industrial applications. The study of bacteria, known as microbiology, continues to unravel their profound impact on the natural world and human health.
